I have playbook that, when run by itself, looks up various values on the 
ansible host (e.g. the repository version of a roles directory) and writes 
them to a log on the ansible target.  

The idea being keeping a log of who ran what versions of what playbooks 
from where.  It's the kind of info you hope to never need but can be 
invaluable if you do.

Anyway; here's a snippet.

.....
  AnsibleGit:  "{{ lookup('pipe', 'git log  | head -1') }}"
.....
 - shell: echo "{{ EpochTime }}  git {{ AnsibleGit }}"               >>  {{ 
Log }}


When I include the playbook as one playbook among many in setting up a 
server (as opposed to running it standalone) the lookups run on
the target rather than the host. 

I can make something that gets that information by other means but I'd 
rather use lookup if I can. 

Any ideas how to get lookup to always run on the host?
