it is currently expected for build from a tarball. git information is only included when build from a git directory. so I am expecting that any rust installed from distribution to share the same output. (but when installed from rustup, it comes from a build from mozilla which is done using git) if some rust crate depends on it, you should open a bug report. it could be interesting to also open a bug report on rustc itself in order to include the information for tarball too (the tarball contains at least the commit-hash information).
