So we can override the build description when compiling dev branches with a command flag like -DARDUINO_ESP8266_GIT_DESC=...

This file is overridden during the build process in the build path by platform.txtL75-79
(/tmp/arduino-build.../core/core_version.h for linux, elsewhere for windows and macOS).
So if you need this feature, I think you need to update this file.
Unless I miss something, I don't think your changes have any effect.
Did you actually noticed a change with them ?

If you need to be able to check what core you are using at compile time, you may find some interest in #5269 (coincidence)

This doesn't change anything for building via Arduino.app or platform.txt but I'm using a custom makefile.

I can add BUILD_EXTRA_FLAGS=-DARDUINO_ESP8266_GIT_DESC=$(ESP_ARDUINO_VERSION) in my makefile and then ESP.getFullVersion() will output the current Git version used for the build. Without the PR it's impossible to redefine these macros.
