flutter version gets confused on master with some configurations of Git history #50577
Description
Sometimes, a PR has to have its git history rewritten because the tool starts reporting some older version of Flutter with a very high .pre number. See for example #45035
The work around for this is to:
git fetch upstream
git reset --soft upstream/master
git commit -m 'rewrite history!'
git push -f
Or something like that. This gets the version output back to normal on CI.
Ideally, the tool would be able to handle this situation. I'm not as familiar with its version logic though - @jonahwilliams maybe?
