Support to modify VersionPrefix and automatically increment a specified portion of the semantic version about dotnet-setversion

[TAGC]

I'd think that would require first being able to use this to specify which version to update (VersionPrefix vs Version) and then also be able to tell it to increment so I don't have to know exactly what the prefix version is., just tell it to incremement minor or something.

So I think this can be split into two feature requests:

• Support setting <VersionPrefix> instead of <Version> in *.csproj files
• Support incrementing version numbers via the tool

I think the first one of these could be a good fit and worth adding. The second one I'm not sure about because this tool aims to avoid doing version calculations itself and really just takes a version string that's provided to it and writes it to one or more csproj files. For my own use, I typically use GitVersion for the sort of "heavy lifting" aspect to calculate the version string and then use this tool to write that to the csproj files.

In your case, I would try to use a separate tool (or script) to calculate the minor-bumped version prefix (3.1.0.1 -> 3.2.0.1) and then update the csproj file using something like maybe setversion --prefix 3.2.0.1. Does that work?

I'm going to close this as there's not been any response.
