Replace "yocto" with "project using git + building toybox"
make.sh sets GITHASH because the "." directory is "under" git.
/proj/whatever/ ... was checked out of git and contains:
/proj/whatever/things/toybox/download-build-toybox.sh
... "git describe --tags --abbrev=12" prints out the tag/hash
for parent project whatever ... not for toybox.tgz.
GITHASH is technically correct, but annoyingly unhelpful.
How shall I force "toybox --version" to print "toybox 0.7.4"
instead of "toybox whatever-16.0.0-222-ge7bb9e918200"
just because the toybox build dir is "under" a git dir?
The patch I submitted added a check for GITHASH_DISABLE.
If that variable is set, then GITHASH will not be set.
so that "toybox --version" will print "0.7.4"
root-cause-fix would be fixing make/build such that
"toybox --version" prints "toybox 0.7.4.{GITHASH}"
lazy-yocto-fix was sed 's/git describe/git-stopit describe/'
