feat(dotnet-ci): opt-in fetch-depth for tag-derived versioning - #57
Conversation
06-versioning.md now recommends MinVer for C#, and MinVer derives the version from git tags — it needs full history and tags. dotnet-ci.yml's three checkout steps are shallow, so a repo adopting both would have MinVer silently compute 0.0.0-alpha.0 instead of failing. Latent rather than live, and worth saying so: no repo currently calls dotnet-ci.yml, and it has no pack or publish step, so a wrong version here would not ship today. But the standard makes MinVer adoption more likely, and a repo that later adds a pack step would publish 0.0.0-alpha.0 with no error anywhere. Adds a fetch-depth input defaulting to 1, so current behaviour is byte-identical for anyone who leaves it unset, and documents on the input itself why a MinVer repo wants 0. Verified: no existing input default changed, actionlint clean.

optional input named dotnet-fetch-depth with default 1, then forward it through

required.yml is the org's single required status check and forwards only dotnet-version, solution, working-directory and submodules to dotnet-ci.yml. Without a passthrough, the fetch-depth input added in this PR could not be set by any repo on the standard path — the same gap that made the cpp-enable-* and cpp-timeout-minutes passthroughs necessary. Defaults to 1, identical to dotnet-ci.yml's own default, so an unset caller sees no change. Verified no existing input default moved in either file. Raised by CodeRabbit on #57.
