Re: [PATCH] BaseTools: Retrieve git version info

["Bob Feng" <bob.c.feng@intel.com>]

Hi Pankaj,

I would have some questions.  Which module or tool will read WORKSPACE_GIT_VERSION and PACKAGES_PATH_GIT_VERSION?
PACKAGES_PATH can include multiple path separated by ";",  looks this patch can't handle such case.
Why is this function implemented in build wrapper?

Thanks,
Bob

Subject: [PATCH] BaseTools: Retrieve git version info

Retrieve git version info and save as environment variable These variables can be used in modules to print the vesrion info when uefi boots.
This helps in identifying the codebase from logs.

Notes:
    When i ran PatchCheck.py script on this patch i received two errors:
    1. Line ending ('\n') is not CRLF
    2. The commit message format is not valid:
     * Contributed-under! (Note: this must be removed by the code contributor!)
    
    I have fixed the [2] but i have not fixed [1], as this file's line endings
    are already unix like. Please suggest if i need to change these to windows
    like?
