When building the GMT release tarball (not a git repository), I see an error like:
The error was introduced in #7468, because for release tarballs, there is no
.git
directory, sogit log
command doesn't work.This PR fixes the issue by setting the
GMT_BUILD_DATE
to the current UTC date by default, and only use the last commit date if it's a git repository.Patches #7468.
