If your texinfo file includes version.texi, then its modification date
is very important because it impacts the date that appears in the final
file. Your solution is in my opinion the only correct way to answer the
problem.
However, there are situations in which you only have access to a
shallow clone of the git repository (for instance, Gitlab CI). I am not
sure how this solution would work in that case.
Best regards,
Vivien
