3142e5f8cfdoc: Add release notes for #32220 (Hennadii Stepanov)b71cd5c162cmake: Skip using git when building from source tarball or as subproject (Hennadii Stepanov)fe941938e8cmake: Remove unnecessary `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT` environment variable (Hennadii Stepanov)9a2cced23acmake, refactor: Move `find_package(Git)` to `src/CMakeLists.txt` (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: In general, the Bitcoin Core build system attempts to fetch commit or tag details from git. This is handled by the [`cmake/script/GenerateBuildInfo.cmake`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/cmake/script/GenerateBuildInfo.cmake) script, which generates the [`src/bitcoin-build-info.h`](65dcbec756/src/clientversion.cpp (L26-L31)) header within the build tree. However, there are cases where the retrieved details may be incorrect—for example, when building from a source tarball or as a subproject within a git-aware project. In the Autotools-based build system, the `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT` environment variable was [introduced](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7522) in [v0.20.0](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.20.0.md) to address such scenarios: > The process for generating the source code release ("tarball") has changed in an effort to make it more complete, however, there are a few regressions in this release: > - Instead of running `make` simply, you should instead run `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT=1 make`. This PR automagically handles both of the aforementioned cases and removes the need for `BITCOIN_GENBUILD_NO_GIT`. The user is still able to configure the build with [`-DCMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_Git=ON`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_DISABLE_FIND_PACKAGE_PackageName.html) to disable git execution manually, for [reasons](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32220#issuecomment-2780115034) we don't know in advance. Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31999. ACKs for top commit: maflcko: review ACK3142e5f8cf🥄 fanquake: ACK3142e5f8cf- tested a few different build scenarios (from Guix the tarball), they all seem to work as intended.
