This is git failing. git branch --show-current was introduced in git 2.22 (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1417957/show-just-the-current-branch-in-git/55088865#55088865 ). The problem is in the cmake timestamp subrepo (https://github.com/kraiskil/cmake_timestamp) not handling older versions of git cleanly. Since git 2.22 is only a few years old, it would be nice if this problem could be worked around, especially since recording the build info into onnx2c isn't that important a feature in the first place.

Oh, and a quick work-around before a proper fix is available would be to comment out line 52: git_cmd( "branch --show-current" GIT_BRANCH) in file cmake_timestamp/CMakeLists.txt

Latest master should now compile without warnings. Though also without branch info in the version string. Please re-open the issue if I goofed something.

Thanks for reporting!
