Custom build grabs version tag from the parent project

[forbesjo]

I've installed shaka-player as a dependency to my app and am creating a custom build which removes modules I don't need:

...
    "prebuild": "node_modules/shaka-player/build/build.py --name bc +@complete -@offline -@cast -@hls --force",
...

This grabs my project's git version and messes up shaka.Player.version. The build process should probably fall back to using npm_version() somehow.

Your proposal to use npm version here sounds reasonable to me. The version comes from calculate_version() in build/shakaBuildHelpers.py. Perhaps git_version() could fail when there is no .git in the source base.

The fix for this has been cherry-picked and will be released in v2.1.5.
