Reproducing rustc release CI build locally

I'm trying to locally reproduce the dist-x86_64-linux release that is built by CI, following the info here:

https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/tests/ci.html

My OS: Ubuntu 22.04

I try to do the following to run the build in the corresponding Docker container:

git clone git@github.com:rust-lang/rust.git rust-v1.92.0 --branch 1.92.0
cd rust-v1.92.0
git submodule update --init --recursive
./src/ci/docker/run.sh dist-x86_64-linux

The error from the last command is below. This seems to happen due to the fact that the dist-x86_64-linux target uses CentOS 7 in its Dockerfile. Thus, it installs git version 1.8.3.1, which leads to this command failing in the container:

git rev-list --author-date-order --author=bors@rust-lang.org -n1 HEAD

I'm not sure how the CI builds avoid this issue.

Command failed. Attempt 5/5:

Start with src/ci/docker/run.sh and the dist-x86_64-linux container setup, then inspect the bootstrap path at src/bootstrap/src/core/config/config.rs:2235-2242. Reproduce the command in the issue and compare the container's Git behavior with the CI environment. Done means the release build can be reproduced locally without the reported git rev-list failure.
