VERSION in Makefile is wrong when used with non-annotated git tags

[qezz]

v0.8.3 is not annotated tag so the VERSION variable in the Makefile always fails

# don't override user values
ifeq (,$(VERSION))
  VERSION := $(shell git describe --exact-match 2>/dev/null)
  # if VERSION is empty, then populate it with branch's name and raw commit hash
  ifeq (,$(VERSION))
    VERSION := $(BRANCH)-$(COMMIT)
  endif
endif

source/allora-network/allora-chain (tags/v0.8.3?) $ git describe --exact-match
fatal: no tag exactly matches 'cab7882d7d460813c0424b155b8f77979a3c4007'

non-annotated tags are generally not recommended, but if you want to make them work, you need to provide --tags

allora-network/allora-chain (tags/v0.8.3?) $ git describe --exact-match --tags
v0.8.3

It's up to you how to approach this issue. A workaround patch is in the #750
