      # Ugly hack: The build system extracts the version from either ".git" (if cloned)
      # or from ".tarball-version" (if from a proper dist tarball).
      # But here, HomeBrew clones (shallowly) first, then extract to a separate directory,
      # So there's neither ".git" nor ".tarball-version".
      #
      # Here, we go back to the GIT directory, 'unshallow' the repository
      # (unshallow requires git version 1.8.3 or later), then extract the version.
      # If 'unshallowing' failed, fallback to the SHA1 of the current version.
