The use of vcs_tag was dropped in #28567, which results in builds having stale version information once new commit are made. This also fixes a case where CI builds would have no version information because they are checked out without any tags for git-describe to use. Additionally, use `--git-dir` now, as that particular issues seems to have been fixed by now.
