Description

When getting MSB3277, the message (en-us) is:

MSB3277: Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly that could not be resolved.  These reference conflicts are listed in the build log when log verbosity is set to detailed.

However, this is incorrect. The conflicts are only listed when the verbosity is set to diagnostic

Research direction
The fix involves locating the resource string for MSB3277 in the MSBuild project files (likely in a .resx file such as Shared/MSBuildStringResource.resx or similar) and changing the text 'detailed' to 'diagnostic' in the English (en us) locale. This is a simple text change with a well defined scope; no further investigation is needed.
