#14834: Compiling: HAIKU_REVISION in UserBuildConfig is disregarded by jam

--------------------------+------------------------------
The HAIKU_REVISION= workaround in UserBuildConfig for source trees lacking
tags is presently not working on on either x86 and x86_64 nightly.
I've rated this as low priority as it is not an issue when using source
trees from git.haiku-os.org (which contain tags), but it seems there may
be something amiss in the build system.
Steps to replicate:
Download and clean-install either nightly x86 or x86_64
Update via SoftwareUpdater
git clone https://github.com/haiku/haiku.git
add HAIKU_REVISION=hrev98765; to UserBuildConfig in HAIKU_TOP/ and or
HAIKU_TOP/build/jam
./configure
run any of:
jam @image, jam @nightly-raw, or jam @nightly-anyboot
Error message:
{{{
AddTargetVariableToScript1 <unique!target>_target_553
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
Error: you are using a Haiku clone without tags, please set
the revision tag to use (e.g. HAIKU_REVISION=hrev43210)
