Can't find the .git directory in C:\TeamCity\buildAgent\work\d8b51bbe303335d5

I'm familiar with team city agent vs server checkout, and the dynamic repository feature.

I am using the gitversion meta runner for team city, using server checkout, passing argument to obtain the repo on the fly. Hitting this error - here is the log:

It says it can't find the .git directory.. Isn't it meant to create / fetch one based on the arguments I am passing? Any ideas?

@dazinator Sounds like this is related to #914 which is merged, but not released yet.

@asbjornu do you know when the next release is planned? Looking forward to the fix for this :)

[dazinator]

@asbjornu - thanks for fixing this - much appreciated.

@JackFrostStudios It's hanging on #898 going green. Not many days, I hope. 😄

[JakeGinnivan]

Build is green, gonna try and close out a few more small things then push a release today.

[JackFrostStudios]

@JakeGinnivan any news on that release?

@JackFrostStudios you should find the 3.6.0 release of GitVersion available now.
