Fake5: GitVersion not called with mono

[seanamosw]

Description

When using Fake.Tools.GitVersion.generateProperties on non-windows machines, GitVersion.exe is not called with mono.

Fake4 has the correct behaviour.

Expected behaviour

let version = Tools.GitVersion.generateProperties id

mono xxxx/GitVersion.exe

Actual behavior

let version = Tools.GitVersion.generateProperties id

xxxx/GitVersion.exe

Script reported an error:
-> Start of process 'xxxx/GitVersion.exe' failed.
-> Win32Exception: Permission denied

The current workaround would be to just copy the fixed version into your script file until the fix is released (which will be next week once fsprojects/Paket#3307 is released). Alternatively, you can depend on the staging nuget feed (but be aware that we only keep a couple of version there): https://www.myget.org/F/fake-vsts/api/v3/index.json (use update to the alpha version of Fake.Tools.GitVersion)

(will take a couple of minutes until the build finished and the fixed version is available)
