Support for MSBuild Core about nerdbank.gitversioning

[AArnott]

OK, I have a semi-supportable package for folks to use:

nuget feed: https://www.myget.org/F/aarnott/api/v2/package
package version: 1.6.1-beta-g4dc3644c72

Of course later versions in the 1.6.x family are probably better when they become available.

Blocked by libgit2/libgit2sharp#874

I'm looking into that.

[AArnott]

I've opened libgit2/libgit2sharp#1293 to track my efforts.

[AndyGerlicher]

@AArnott do you have any update you have on this? We've merged our change using this to our .net core branch and need to figure out what we should do.

[AArnott]

The latest news is here: libgit2/libgit2sharp#1318

In short, the work to make libgit2 portable is basically complete. But we need to get it to work in the xplat CIs. I'm OOF for the next 2.5 weeks, so hopefully @ethomson will be able to make progress.

Any updates on when a .NET Core version might be available?

[asherber]

I'm also interested in this.

[AArnott]

I've resumed work on this with a private build of the libgit2sharp package that supports netstandard pushed to myget.

Snagged by dotnet/sdk#705

[clairernovotny]

Nice catch!

[AArnott]

I might work around it by publishing a package to myget with an alternate identity.

[AArnott]

Alright: I've hacked together a NuGet package that works on dotnet build. I tested on Windows, but I believe it will work on other operating systems as well.
