-Date:   Wed Apr 30 09:30:04 2025 +0000
-
-    Add stampsrcs attribute
-    
-    This change adds the stampsrcs attribute, which allows providing a list
-    of files containing variable definitions, which are used in addition to
-    the stable and volatile status files and have the same format.
-    
-    See https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_go/issues/3507
