[Bug] Unable to handle pipeline with multiple repo resources in Azure DevOps

[aDisplayName]

Describe the bug When multiple repos are checked out in Azure DevOps build pipeline, the GitVersion task was not able to run under one of the specified repo.

Build Script

name: $(BuildId)_$(date:yyyyMMdd)
trigger: none

resources:
  repositories:
  - repository: dataRepo
    type: git
    name: my-data-repo

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-18.04'
workspace:
  clean: all
    
steps:
- checkout: self
  path: source # Source code is saved in /home/vsts/work/1/s/source folder
- checkout: dataRepo
  path: dataRepo # Additional data is save in /home/vsts/work/1/s/dataRepo folder

- task: UseDotNet@2
  displayName: Prepare Dotnet for GitVersion
  inputs:
    packageType: 'sdk'
    version: '2.1.x'

- task: GitVersion@5
  displayName: GitVersion
  inputs:
    runtime: 'core'
    configFilePath: '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/source/GitVersion.yml'

Expected Behavior

GitVersion can generate version info based on triggering repo "self"

Actual Behavior

I cannot find a way asking GitVersion to parsing the information from $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/source Apparently the git version task was run under $(Build.SourcesDirectory) folder:

Found a workaround, I have to change the checkout path for my source code to "s", to match the default gitversion work directory:

- checkout: self
  paht: s
- checkout: dataRepo
  path: dataRepo # Additional data is save in /home/vsts/work/1/s/dataRepo folder

Same issue here!

I have the same problem and used the workaround that the tasks of GitVersion are implemented in the separate stage. In the stage, only the resource repository is checked out. The required git information is transferred into the second stage by variables. Just similar with the Example 10: https://github.com/GitTools/actions/blob/main/docs/examples/azure/gitversion/execute/usage-examples.md
