Unfragile

Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Git is a NuGet package for MSBuild, and the only source that names it directly is the Microsoft .NET page 1, which does not describe its tasks in detail. The closest established alternatives for Git-based build versioning are GitVersion 7, which derives SemVer versions from git history for build pipelines, and Git itself 10 as the underlying version control system.
