As discussed with ART, we will fix CVO, so that OCP builds would be able to build using a custom semver string i.e. OS_GIT_VERSION instead of git describe output.
Please detail the proposed change before doing anything - this scares me :)
Build side changes were reverted thus no CVO changes expected at this time.
