It is not _any_ version that starts with `0.` that is a development version, instead it is the version hard-coded in `Version.props` when no `GVFSVersion` has been specified. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In .NET SDK 8, the Informational Version attribute of the assembly includes the commit ID of the current HEAD at build time: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/compatibility/sdk/8.0/source-link This kind of version might be compliant with SemVer v2.0, but it is _not_ System.Version-compliant. Therefore, we opted out of this new behavior _really quickly_ after upgrading from SDK 3 to SDK 9, in order to fix cloning from repositories where `gvfs/config` requires certain minimal VFSforGit versions. In this here commit, we adapt the logic to strip off the commit ID if present. That way, the version check would continue to work even if we opted back in to this new behavior that includes the commit SHA in `gvfs version`'s output.

As reported by @tyrielv,
gvfs clonewould fail with https://github.com/microsoft/VFSForGit/releases/tag/v1.0.25260.1 when the repository to clone specifies a minimal VFSforGit version in itsgvfs/configendpoint. The reason is that with the version bump from .NET SDK v3 to v9, the version string included in the assembly now contains the suffix+<commit-SHA>, which cannot be parsed bySystem.Version:@mjcheetham provided a quick work-around in #1870 to opt out of the new behavior and report the version without that suffix again; Here is a PR that prepares the code to handle such versions gracefully, to open up the door to opt back in to the new behavior (and let
gvfs versionreport an even more informative output than right now).
