Title: Git commits feature

Hi,

I found some blogposts of people that were interested in getting the number of commits from a git revision so that they could use it to update the assemblyinfo file. I also was interested in this, so I created a feature with a dedicated task for this called: GitCommits that should do the trick

Hopefully you guys can pull this one in, so that other developers can use this too.

With kind regards,
