git describe fails with “fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.”

fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

This error log is shown in console every time server starts up or build is processing.

This can be useful I think:

My configuration:

const RELEASE_ID = nextBuildId.sync({describe: true, fallbackToSha: true});

I think that it was caused by the .dockerignore file in my project, which ignored .git directory while copying files from my project directory to docker container. Anyway there should be a fix for it, ex. return undefined in such situation.
