This can incorrectly find an unrelated .git directory and provide a
git revision unrelated to the FreeBSD source being built. For example,
a build from my Subversion tree now reports "FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #2
ad3f46a(master)" instead of "FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #5 r310482M".

Can you explain your use case in a little more detail so that I can
avoid breaking it with a change here? Do you commit FreeBSD snapshots
into the "bigger project"?
