According to git-commit-id-maven-plugin io.github.git-commit-id:git-commit-id-maven-plugin 5.x is the successor of pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin 4.x.
Spring Boot Dependencies currently manages pl.project13.maven:git-commit-id-plugin 4.x.

Thanks for the suggestion but we cannot switch to 5.x just yet as it requires Java 11 and Spring Boot 2.x has a Java 8 baseline. We'll upgrade to 5.x in due course as part of Spring Boot 3.0.

Ah right, I missed that Java 11 requirement. Makes sense. 👍
