Description
Please consider adding support for source embedding to C++/native builds.
The README says that this is not currently supported (as of July 2026):
> Source embedding and embedding commit SHA and repository URL information in the native binary are not supported for native projects.
I didn't see an issue for this feature request, so I figured I would open one. If this is a duplicate of something else, feel free to close it.
I'd need to play with things, but for my projects I'd use either `true` or `true`.

Research direction
Start with the README statement that source embedding and commit metadata are unsupported for native projects, then trace the native build path. The work is done when native builds support the requested EmbedUntrackedSources or EmbedAllSources options and embed source information as intended.
