Use .NET 11's Process.ReadAllLines() to capture Git stdout and stderr concurrently without application-owned event handlers or completion events on that target. Keep the existing .NET 10 implementation. This is the first narrow BCL follow-up from #5210; it does not close that issue.

Line-based capture preserves the existing output contract: normalized platform newlines, blank lines, and a trailing newline for an unterminated final line. Process setup, environment scrubbing, argument handling, logging/redaction, start-error wrapping and exit-code handling remain shared. No timeout/cancellation behavior or performance claim is introduced.

Validation on macOS arm64 with SDK 11.0.100-rc.2.26504.105:

  • Managed-backend suite: 174 passed per framework (net10/net11), zero failures or skips, before the final Unicode case was added.
  • Final focused GitCliExecutorTests: 9 passed per framework, zero failures or skips. Covers CRLF/LF/CR, blank and unterminated lines, empty output, separate streams/nonzero exits, large interleaved output, quoted arguments/environment, Unicode and process-start failure.
  • Formatting verification passed for the changed files.

Windows/Linux behavior still needs PR CI validation; the real-Git tests use Git's shell-alias support rather than depending on a separately installed shell. This remains a draft pending review and cross-platform CI.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Git command output is decoded consistently as UTF-8, regardless of the parent console’s code page.
    • Improved output capture on newer runtime versions, including large or interleaved output, Unicode text, and commands that return errors.
    • Standardized captured line endings while keeping standard output and error output separate.
    • Preserved command arguments, environment settings, and failure exit codes, with clearer handling when a process cannot start.
    • Git command handling on earlier runtime versions remains unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

GitCliExecutor.Execute uses Process.ReadAllLines() on .NET 11 and later, while earlier targets retain event-based capture. New tests cover output capture behavior. Version-calculation review metadata has updated source digests and reasons.

Changes: Git process output capture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Target-specific process capture
src/GitVersion.Git.Managed/CommandLine/GitCliExecutor.cs
On .NET 11 and later, Execute reads both output streams with Process.ReadAllLines(), appends lines to the corresponding buffers, and waits for process exit. Earlier targets retain event-based capture.
Capture tests and review metadata
src/GitVersion.Git.Managed.Tests/GitCliExecutorTests.cs, docs/version-calculation-map.json
Tests cover output normalization, empty output, separate streams, exit codes, large interleaved streams, arguments, environment, Unicode, and process-start failures. The version-calculation review metadata has updated source digests and a shared review reason.

standard error streams to decode as UTF-8, so Unicode capture does not depend on
the Windows console code page.
