Invoke-Git error when running on Azure Pipelines hosted agent

[cuzza0]

Description When the boilerplate/example output is generated with Azure Pipelines CICD, and then built using the configured Azure Pipelines hosted agent, the build task fails with the following error - Invoke-Git : fatal: ambiguous argument 'Powershell': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run Plaster with Stucco template, specify Azure Pipelines as the CI of choice
2. Commit resulting scaffold to Azure Repos git repo
3. Create a new Azure Pipelines pipeline using the yaml configuration provided
4. Run the pipeline, pipeline will fail

Expected behavior No error returned and successful pipeline

Possible Solution Fixed locally by updating BuildHelpers from 2.0.8 to 2.0.11

Environment

• Module version used:
• Operating System and PowerShell version: Windows Server 2016 with Visual Studio 2017 (Microsoft Hosted image) with Powershell 6.2.2

Apparently this has been fixed in a commit by @ghvanderweg already so Closing this off. Still existed a few weeks ago when we started using Stucco but have been busy. Sorry!
