Gitversion: Increment version number when local changes are detected

[jetersen]

Checking out a project that produces nuget packages on build with GitVersionTask where master branch's latest commit is tagged with 2.0.0. It would be nice to increment the patch number when local changes are detected.

Or when you create a feature branch from master that is still tagged with 2.0.0 it should bump the minor version when local changes are detected.

We solved it with a MSBuild.Tasks nuget package with a build target that adds VersionSuffix

<Target Name="NugetCreator_BeforeCreateNuspecChangesAndOutput"
          BeforeTargets="GenerateNuspec"
          AfterTargets="GetVersion"
          Condition="'$(GetVersion)' != '' and '$(DisableNugetCreatorForThisSolution)' != 'true'">
    <PropertyGroup>
      <VersionSuffix Condition="'$(CIBuild)' != 'true'">local$([System.DateTime]::Now.ToString(yyyyMMddHHmmss))</VersionSuffix>
      <PackageVersion Condition="'$(CIBuild)' != 'true'">$(VersionPrefix)-$(VersionSuffix)</PackageVersion>
    </PropertyGroup>
</target>

It would be awesome if you, @marcusl or @casz, could submit a PR that fixes this.

Actually I'd like to get back to this!

@marcusl @julianbartel please review #2069

Should be handled outside of GitVersion.
