GO_GIT_DESCRIBE_SYMBOL=main.version seems to break the build.

Adding GO_GIT_DESCRIBE_SYMBOL as described at https://github.com/kr/heroku-buildpack-go#setting-the-version-at-build-time seems to cause the build to fail.

-----> Fetching custom git buildpack... done
-----> Go app detected
-----> Using go1.2
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /app)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

 !     Push rejected, failed to compile Go app

Unfortunately, it is not possible for this feature to work correctly on heroku, both because the buildpack runs inside of a pre-commit hook, and because heroku is in the process of removing git artifacts from the build process entirely.

I'll have to remove the feature from this buildpack.

So sorry! I still want to find a way to get similar functionality, but currently it can't be done.
