Hello,
We have some scripts peeking into .git/ to look for the current revision - it worked yesterday, but today it doesn't.
Did you change something?

Our script:

    An updated Build Agent was deployed yesterday, but nothing breaking - just a fix for calling batch deployment script.

    What's wrong with Git though?

    We are reading files inside .git/ to determine the branch and commit number
    and it worked until yesterday.
    I'll try to figure what changed...

    Yeah, that strange. A regular git executable is used on build servers to fetch sources and it wasn't updated...

    Hey, right now %commitid% could be found in environment variables when calling build script. I could add branch too.

    Were not using git for peeking into .git, but env variables are fine!

    Thanks and sorry for the troubles.

    Cool, I will add a new TODO item for branch env var.
