Examines the current tags on the Git repository and returns the next version.
Creates a preview version
A preview version has the form $CommitID.$Branch.$Authority[-$Revision]. The $Revision in Preview Version is
optional and useful in cases where a nested resource needs a unique version. For example, if you are using vergen to
create tags for Docker images without committing during a development loop. Because the $Commit does not change your
tag names would be non-unique across subsequent runs. The $Revision mechanism allows some unique "data" to be appended
that would result in a unique version.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| CommitID | The Git SHA in long format |
