NetStandard1.0 dll in v5.0-alpha nupkg [Polly5.0.2] is stamped 0.0.0.0

[reisenberger]

The GitVersionTask tool we use to stamp assemblies with version number does not yet support assemblies targeting .NET Standard.

• Explicitly stated as not compatible when nuget-installing it to such a project.
• Some related discussion

This means that Polly.dll in our .NETStandard-targeting Nuget packages is currently version-numbered 0.0.0.0. (Nuget package number is correct; AssemblyVersion info on Polly.dll (the dll targeting NetStandard 1.0 only) reads 0.0.0.0)

Options:

[1] Continue to live with this
[2] Keep [assembly: AssemblyVersion("5.0.2.0")] in Polly.NetStandard10\AssemblyInfo.cs manually in sync with GitVersionConfig.yaml (two sources of truth) (until GitVersionTask fix this)
[3] [preferred for now?] Add some automated regex replace step in the build, to copy the version number from GitVersionConfig.yaml (single source of truth) to Polly.NetStandard10\AssemblyInfo.cs (until GitVersionTask fix this)
[4] Switch to https://github.com/SimpleGitVersion/SGV-Net. Claims to handle this scenario, but has more limited following than GitVersionTask.

Clearly, with the whole project.json / csproj tooling in flux, we can expect to have to change this again - any solution is temporary.

GitVersionTask folks are (probably wisely) holding off fixing, until the Net Standard project formats/tooling settle.

Fixed in Polly v5.0.2 on nuget
