TODO: what is the requirement here? TODO: what section of code does this correspond to?

We need to add experiment UID and git commit hash to the netCDF output as it is too difficult to do this directly in UM7

https://github.com/ACCESS-NRI/UM7/issues/15

From that issue:

ACCESS-NRI would like the capability to embed global metadata attributes directly into model output fieldsfiles.

Specifically we want to add unique tracking IDs to model diagnostic (and tracer) outputs to create a full experiment provenance chain that would enable users to discover experiment metadata.

Ideally there would be a config file where any global attribute could be set. A fallback option would be dedicated namelist options for setting specific global metadata attributes.

For background see this related issue for the tool we're using to run our models:
