Using GitInfo

Hi, I’m puzzled about how to access a GitInfo variable from within a partial included from baseof. It seems like GitInfo is only accessible from within a Page template (not partials or List templates or baseof templates)?

Is there no way to access e.g. {{ .GitInfo.AbbreviatedHash }} from my single.html template, save it in a block, and then reference that block’s value from a partial included by baseof.html (e.g. head.html)? If not, can someone please clarify why?
