DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

git repo can be created by

• submodule of other repo
• GIT_DIR env
• git-worktree

In these cases, .git/HEAD is not available, and ExtractVersionControlInfoTask can be failed.

> Task :app:extractReleaseVersionControlInfo FAILED
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:extractReleaseVersionControlInfo'.
> When VCS tagging is enabled (which is by default in release builds), the project must be initialized with Git. 
The file '.git/HEAD' in the project root is missing, so the version control metadata cannot be included in the APK.

To prevent failure, AGP should use output of git rev-parse HEAD command instead of reading .git/HEAD file.
