Could we check first Revision is empty to avoid extra call to build info?

Does this information gets used when buildx is used as a module? Because in that case it would be showing version from "whatever project used it as a module"

😱 ah! I think you're right, ugh.
We could try and read through the modules first, and look for buildx in there, so we don't hit that? Frustratingly, BuildInfo.Main.Version doesn't get populated, so we can't pull from there.
Maybe we should drop this PR, and avoid clever guessing, since using buildx as a module is definitely a valid use case (e.g. in compose, in docker desktop, etc). This PR is mostly just to provide a fallback for #1620 anyways - we should push the reading of buildinfo down into the logic there, instead of trying to make it generic here.

I think vcs.* is only populated at build time

Yeah - but I think it's populated by whatever vcs information is in the build.
So, if compose uses buildx as a module, then with this patch, we'd populate Revision with compose's revision.

Going to close this PR, don't think it's worth adding all this extra complex logic just to find a revision.

If Revision is not set by the linker, fallback to load the revision in the same format as generated by ./hack/git-meta. Unfortunately, we have no access to the tags, so we can't have a fallback for the Version field. Signed-off-by: Justin Chadwell <[email protected]>

🛠️ As mentioned in #1620 (comment).
If Revision is not set by the linker, fallback to load the revision in the same format as generated by ./hack/git-meta.
