Unfortunately, I can't make any assumptions about how the versions
look. This is for Dunamai ( https://github.com/mtkennerly/dunamai ),
which computes a dynamic version based on the distance from the most
recent version-like tag. Although it encourages a reasonable default,
the meaning of "version-like" can be configured to handle arbitrary
versioning schemes.
