Won't build due to error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128 (and workaround)

[Poikilos]

Won't build

• Go: 1.22.5
• btrfscue: git cd18553

I tried downgrading to Go 1.17.x as recommended here: microsoft/azurelinux#3273 but that didn't work because then make shows an error saying it requires 1.18

• 1.18 (last version) has the same error as 1.22.5 though:

# make
error obtaining VCS status: exit status 128
        Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.
  [Build]     /opt/git/btrfscue/bin/btrfscue

        Use -buildvcs=false to disable VCS stamping.
make: *** [Makefile:56: /opt/git/btrfscue/bin/btrfscue] Error 1

Workaround:

• In Makefile I changed go install to go install -buildvcs=false and it compiled.

I assume this workaround shouldn't be committed to git, since it doesn't version stamp the binary. I'm not sure the real way to solve it, even after reading the azurelinux issue above.
