StackOverflowException when two feature branches are pointing to the same commit

[johannesegger]

I made a mistake and set two feature branches to point to the same commit. When running gitversion on one of the branches it crashes with a StackOverflowException. Of course this is my mistake because two feature branches shouldn't point to the same commit, but maybe you can detect and break the recursion (or whatever the exception triggers).

Run the following commands to reproduce the issue:

mkdir stackoverflowtest
cd .\stackoverflowtest
git init
git commit --allow-empty -m "Commit 1"
git checkout -b develop
git checkout -b feature/feature1
git commit --allow-empty -m "Commit 2"
git commit --allow-empty -m "Commit 3"
git checkout -b feature/feature2
gitversion # This will take some time and then crash with a StackOverflowException
cd ..
rm -Force -Recurse .\stackoverflowtest

The version of GitVersion is used was 3.0.0-Beta1.

Can you please share the complete stack trace?

@nulltoken this will likely be my branch inheriting code as it is recursive. I will create a repro test and fix

I don't get a complete stack trace when I run this from the command line, but I could probably checkout the branch and run it with an attached debugger if you want me to?
