Retrying several times for several filesystems (ext4, ntfs, block device) there's (mostly) always a difference between the 'github.com/coreboot/coreboot' and the 'review.coreboot.org/coreboot' repository for git status and git log, with being functional for the second mentioned.
One influence seems being the '--recursive' option, that maybe disturbs cloning for all needed git 'date' fetching capability for the 'github.com/coreboot/coreboot' repository. Once don't using that option with cloning, the repositories seem functional (tested on ntfs filesystems, with Ubuntu Jammy, aarch64 hw), and this also seems to affect the 'review.coreboot.org/coreboot' repository (why?). (thx)

There seems to be no hint within tutorial documentation for to avoid this missing date and version from/for the repository?

( Thanks for Your time and engagement. )
