Template Helper - Git

[jonpas]

Utility that retrieves current git commit hash:

• from git binary if available
• from .git folder if available

Ref.: make.py

Should support retrieving it as truncated (to N characters) for use in configurable options.

I would rather look at using a git library for rust. Preferable one that has parity support for both Windows and Linux. This will make expanded HEMTT interaction with git easier in the future and will potentially provide more stability than a solution we create ourselves.

There is git2, will test it.
