But first, has anyone analyzed why git-version-gen failed at all in [3]? The message fatal: cannot describe 'a2889ee464562b0b91c1bd6dd00d846ce4b022a0' indicates some setup or build script problem on Hydra's side.
git-describe usually prints that message when it can't find an appropriate tag. If the local repo does have tags prior to the listed object, check whether --match <pattern> is being used.
