@Commit appears multiple times in strings libcoreclr.so output

[echesakov]

Noticed this while working on a bug, @Commit string appears multiple times during strings libcoreclr.so | grep "@Commit" command that suggest version.c was included multiple times. While this behavior was reproduced on linux-arm, it is probably not specific to the architecture.

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

We don't believe this is crucial to fix for 5.0. Moving to 6.0.

[ViktorHofer]

@janvorli @jkotas are you fine with moving this to 6.0?

[jkotas]

This version string is frequently used to identify the exact version of CoreCLR on the system. In best cast, this will just look ugly. In worst case, it is going to break ad-hoc tooling that looks for this string.

[jkotas]

I think this meets the breaking change point in the ask mode bar.

[ViktorHofer]

Works for me. Still we need someone to drive this. @jkotas do you have cycles to look into?

[jkotas]

I believe @janvorli has been looking into this.

[janvorli]

Correct, I am planning to fix that today or tomorrow the latest.

[ViktorHofer]

Thanks Jan
