Thank you for the report @philippeboyd

It looks like what is happening is that when the change set is a part of the Unreleased category, the BREAKING CHANGE is not caught. You can test his by running the same repro case with the --next-tag <ANYTHING> set. This will inject a pseudo tag and result in the BREAKING CHANGE to be noted as expected.

I have been wanting to find time to refactor how the Unreleased and next-tag features are handled within the tool. There are some tricky cases to handle, but it would be nice if the behavior was consistent across all "tags" regardless if they are real, pseudo or unreleased.

See #145 and #76 for those issues.
