Feature request: build with .git directory for version info

[kaihendry]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

Include .git repository in build so that build identifiers (version) can be included.

Proposal

When building via BuildMethod: makefile allow for .git directory to build copied in.

Things to consider:

1. Will this require any updates to the SAM Spec - No

Additional Details

https://github.com/kaihendry/days/actions/runs/7024444798/job/19113205820#step:6:32 shows that sam builds in a tmp dir without .git directory. I am not sure how this works, though it should also have the option of bringing in the .git directory too to solve this.

Thanks for raising this feature request! We have a similar aggregate issue on Lambda Builders (the library we use to power the building process in SAM CLI) that contains a request to have some sort of "including" functionality, similar to your request to include the .git folder.

We can close this issue in favour for the one in Lambda Builders if there aren't any concerns, or things that are specific to SAM CLI that'd you like to see get introduced.
