Use MSBuild property to determine base version instead of external file

[mgnslndh]

Is it possible to use an MSBuild property to determine base version instead of tag/branch or external file?

This seems to indicate that it is possible to set the $(GitBaseVersion) from MSBuild:
https://github.com/kzu/GitInfo/blob/master/src/GitInfo/build/GitInfo.targets#L78

I can't get it to work. Is it possible? When/Where should the variable be assigned?

Not sure whether my issue is like this. But i wanted to get the GitSha into minver as described in https://rehansaeed.com/the-easiest-way-to-version-nuget-packages/ and tried minver myself with gitinfo (which @rehan did not mention without success as mentioned in adamralph/minver#334

The behavior you're looking for is triggered when you set GitDefaultVersion, which is used in the default fallback if no other base version is determined. That other line is confusing, will remove it :)
