neilcsmith-net commented on issue #1527: update path of gitinfo to be aside 
user.build.properties
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1527#issuecomment-534135039
 
 
   @ebarboni I'm not sure this is exactly the right approach.  If someone 
checks out the sources with git, they want that file to be generated in 
`nbbuild/build` only, surely?  However, with the source zip, we want to provide 
the contents for that file for them.
   
   So, perhaps we should write that file as part of the source zip at 
`nbbuild/gitinfo.properties`.
   
   But the build should check if `nbbuild/gitinfo.properties` exists, and copy 
to `nbbuild/build/gitinfo.properties`. Then proceed as before - if 
`nbbuild/build/gitinfo.properties` doesn't exist, generate it.
   
   That way, the source zip works, and a git checkout remains in sync.
   
   Or am I missing something?
