It seems something wrong with version.h in my build about candlelight_fw

[iDoka]

My workaround:

1. Using %at
2. Using %ad + --date=short

$ git log --pretty=format:fw_%h_%ad --date=short -n 1
fw_85424e3_2021-07-11

Whats is main goal of "%as+" ?

$ man git log
....
               %as
                   author date, short format (YYYY-MM-DD)

The '+' is then appended if the source tree is dirty (see cmake/gitversion.cmake)

What version of git are you using ?
What do you get if you run git log --pretty=format:fw_%h_%as -n 1 from the source dir ?

My system might be little bit mature:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

$ git --version
git version 1.8.3.1

But till now I dont have any issues with git usage (but I'm not advanced git user).

$ git log --pretty=format:fw_%h_%as -n 1
fw_85424e3_%as

I did $ man git log
It seems I use obsolete git version that doesnt use %as:

           ·   %ad: author date (format respects --date= option)
           ·   %aD: author date, RFC2822 style
           ·   %ar: author date, relative
           ·   %at: author date, UNIX timestamp
           ·   %ai: author date, ISO 8601 format
