Configuration cache problems in Gradle 8.1

Seems to be able to detour using environment variable GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM.

https://docs.gradle.org/8.1.1/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:requirements:use_project_during_execution

The following table shows what APIs or injected service should be used as a replacement for each of the Project methods.

Instead of:	Use:
project.version	A task input or output property or a script variable to capture the result of using project.version to calculate the actual parameter.

The root cause is here:

one of my colleagues dug up a jgit feature that makes this plugin config-cache compatible with no code changes using the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM environment key, jgit will not try to read the system wide git config and in out initial tests this was enough to make v2.4.1 work with the config cache

another option is to change the way jgit is initialized in the plugin ( maybe with an associated config property ) like it has been done in this PR for the axion release plugin https://github.com/allegro/axion-release-plugin/pull/683/files

For Information this plugin is working for me :

"io.hndrs.gradle:gradle-git-properties-plugin:1.0.0"

https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/io.hndrs.git-properties

Another workaround to consider until this plugin supports configuration cache: Setting org.gradle.configuration-cache.problems=warn in gradle.settings.

I think it's important to mention another plugin https://github.com/hndrs/gradle-git-properties-plugin (it was mentioned above indeed)

This one was updated 2 years ago, it has MRs open for N years and it has a low response in issues, tbh I have serious doubts about why Spring refers to it even in latest versions

• Gradle build cache doesn't work properly here, see my issue
• Gradle configuration cache doesn't work either (it can be an underlying library problem but still)
