Embed first two bytes of the git commit ID, encoded as an integer in AssemblyInformationalVersion

[jobanputra]

The sample output should in the .NET support documentation has the first two bytes of the git comment ID, encoded as an integer in the AssemblyInformationVersion (pasted below). How do I configure my version.json to get a similar output?

internal sealed partial class ThisAssembly {
    internal const string AssemblyVersion = "1.0";
    internal const string AssemblyFileVersion = "1.0.24.15136";
    internal const string AssemblyInformationalVersion = "1.0.24.15136-alpha+g9a7eb6c819";
    internal const string AssemblyName = "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation";
    internal const string PublicKey = @"0024000004800000940000...reallylongkey..2342394234982734928";
    internal const string PublicKeyToken = "b03f5f7f11d50a3a";
    internal const string AssemblyTitle = "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Validation";
    internal const string AssemblyConfiguration = "Debug";
    internal const string RootNamespace = "Microsoft";
}

It's on by default. What are you seeing instead?

version.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AArnott/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/master/src/NerdBank.GitVersioning/version.schema.json",
  "version": "1.2",
  "assemblyVersion": {
    "precision": "revision"
  }
}

I see. The docs are wrong/outdated. NB.GV never puts the 4th integer into the AssemblyInformationalVersion:

https://github.com/AArnott/Nerdbank.GitVersioning/blob/c518c0306a3cdcf467871acdb6fd3430b662e632/src/NerdBank.GitVersioning/VersionOracle.cs#L179-L180

Adding the first two bytes of the commit ID as an integer in the AssemblyInformationalVersion would be redundant because the git commit ID itself can be and is present in that same field.
