Vaultwarden needs to know about the `VW_VERSION` from somewhere.
If you don't provide it yourself it will try to get it from git when building.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. So, do I actually need to set the VW_VERSION environment variable before running cargo build? Or should I put this variable somewhere else?
