Description
The extant method on cobble is a bit basic, it generates an RTL file which will force a total re-build of the design any time it changes. Ideally this would be in a ROM and we could then back annotate it at the assembly stage preventing complete rebuilds.

Research direction
Start by examining the existing cobble method that generates the RTL file and trace how the build reaches assembly. Define the ROM and back-annotation flow so git revision information can be added at assembly without forcing a complete design rebuild; done means the revision is present in the ROM while unchanged RTL avoids a total rebuild.
