[Bug] '.' not accepted as PATH argument (in 5.6.9)

[stevesea]

Describe the bug
My gitlab pipelines started failing after the 5.6.9 release -- failing with

The system cannot open the device or file specified. : 'Global\.'

My gitlab pipeline job looks like:

version:
  stage: version
  cache: {}
  image:
    name: gittools/gitversion:latest
    entrypoint: [""]
  rules:
    - if: $CI_MERGE_REQUEST_IID
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
  artifacts:
    name: "$CI_JOB_NAME-$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG"
    paths:
      - gitversion.properties
  script:
    - /tools/dotnet-gitversion . /output buildserver
    - cat gitversion.properties

later jobs in the pipeline depend on the version job and import the env vars from gitversion.properties.

Expected Behavior

With 5.6.8 and earlier, using '.' as the path works:

❯ docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/repo" -it --entrypoint /bin/bash gittools/gitversion:5.6.8       
root@7e5bc4da4ee2:/tools# cd /repo
root@7e5bc4da4ee2:/repo# /tools/dotnet-gitversion . /output json 
{
  "Major": 3,
  "Minor": 3,
  "Patch": 1,

Actual Behavior

With 5.6.9, '.' as the path fails:

❯ docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/repo" -it --entrypoint /bin/bash gittools/gitversion:5.6.9           
root@b4e01d80db52:/tools# cd /repo
root@b4e01d80db52:/repo# /tools/dotnet-gitversion . /output json  
The system cannot open the device or file specified. : 'Global\.'

# however, I can use $(pwd) instead and it's happy
root@b4e01d80db52:/repo# /tools/dotnet-gitversion $(pwd) /output json  
{
  "Major": 3,
  "Minor": 3,
  "Patch": 1,

Possible Fix

to work-around it on gitlab, I'm probably going to replace my pipeline job definition with

    - /tools/dotnet-gitversion $(pwd) /output buildserver

or

    - /tools/dotnet-gitversion ${CI_PROJECT _PATH} /output buildserver
