Comment:

 The `MOZ_BUILD_DATE` variable is not set correctly:
 {{{
 +++ cat browser/config/version.txt
 ++ /home/ubuntu/build/get-moz-build-date 45.3.0
 fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
 Use of uninitialized value $year in multiplication (*) at
 /home/ubuntu/build/get-moz-build-date line 15.
 + eval export MOZ_BUILD_DATE=201040101
 }}}

 The reason is that we are running `get-moz-build-date`, which uses the
 current git commit to get the year, after removing the .git directory.
