-Subject: [PATCH] determineVersion.sh: prevent traversing into outer git repo
- for git-describe call
-
-When building nethogs inside another git repo (as is i.e. done as part
-of a buildroot build) the version is picked up from the outer git repo,
-which is confusing as well as introducing reproducibility problems when
-rebuilding the same nethogs version produces different results if the
-outer repository changes.

-Upstream: https://github.com/raboof/nethogs/commit/6423bdf05d51efc5441c82248098f99e4c1f59c3
