[Bug] GitVersion tool doesn't generate any output

[nZeus]

Describe the bug
dotnet tool run dotnet-gitversion /verbosity Diagnostic command doesn't produce any output.

Expected Behavior

It should produce a json output

Actual Behavior

Does nothing. No errors, no output

Steps to Reproduce

You can reproduce it here:
https://labs.play-with-docker.com/p/bqq0t0qosm4g0090ih90#bqq0t0qo_bqq0t2iosm4g0090iha0

docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1
docker run -i -t mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1

mkdir x
cd x

dotnet new tool-manifest
dotnet tool install --local GitVersion.Tool --version 5.3.2

git init
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git add .config/dotnet-tools.json
git commit -m "First"

dotnet tool run dotnet-gitversion /verbosity Diagnostic

Your Environment

Docker image dotnet/core/sdk:3.1

• Version Used:
• Operating System and version: Debian 10

I'm unable to reproduce on macOS, so this may be a Debian-related issue. I believe Debian isn't fully supported, due to LibGit2Sharp not fully supporting it. Are you up to date on the details there, @arturcic?

[arturcic]

libgit2/libgit2sharp#1725 - the Debian 10 is not supported by LibGit2Sharp,

[nZeus]

Indeed, I tried mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:3.1-alpine and it works.

Is it possible to throw an exception (e.g. System not supported, or a libgit2sharp exception)?
So that users aware of why the output is empty?

[asbjornu]

It would be great to do something like that, @nZeus. But it sounds like a PITA to maintain a list of supported operating systems for another software project. If LibGit2Sharp had a list we could use, this would be no problem. But unfortunately they don't afaik.

[mabead]

@asbjornu I understand that it would be a PITA to maintain a perfect list but maintaining a list that contains the OS that you know will fail could save a lot of times to others.

As said in #2308, we spend about two days (total) trying to find out what was going wrong. We were migrating all our code and build to .net core 3.1 when we had this problem. Narrowing down the error took us a lot of time.

[asbjornu]

Sure, I wouldn't mind having a blacklist of known unsupported operating systems. If anyone submits a pull request implementing it, I would merge it.

It is also happening in the container - /verbosity is ignored.

Same with me /verbosity Diagnostic doesn't work and this is critical to figure out how things do work. Please fix this asap to avoid raising new issues.

I thought it was just me. The only affect /verbosity diagnostic has for me is to prevent the /diag switch having any effect. This is on Windows using dotnet-gitversion so perhaps it's unrelated?
