This is actually an annoying challenge of reproducible builds. In many cases it is actually useful to have a build timestamp, git sha, or build number available for debug output from the program. I've often gone as far as embedding a sha and/or timestamp into a file on export into a tgz which allows it to be reproducible from the tarfile, although builds directly out of source control would not be.


Git hashes can be inserted in reproducible builds, they are deterministic.
