What are you seeing?

I am currently upgrading our ADO pipeline gitversion task to version 6 and have the following configuration file. However the we are still getting the serversion incrementing on the PreReleaseTag,

GitVersion executed successfully
Async Command Start: Update Build Number
Update build number to 2.0.19-1 for build 80882
Async Command End: Update Build Number
Finishing: Calculate Version

and not the patch as we believe we have specified in the git configuration file below

workflow: GitHubFlow/v1 # Only add this if you want every version to be created automatically on your main branch.
major-version-bump-message: "^(build|chore|ci|docs|feat|fix|perf|refactor|revert|style|test)(\([\w\s-]\))?(!:|:.\n\n((.+\n)+\n)?BREAKING CHANGE:\s.+)"
minor-version-bump-message: "^(feat)(\([\w\s-]\))?:"
patch-version-bump-message: "." # Catch-all rule for patch version bump"

Set default increment to patch if no other pattern matches

branches:
main:
regex: ^main$
increment: Patch
develop:
regex: ^develop$
increment: Patch
feature:
regex: ^features?[/-]
increment: Patch
bugfix:
regex: ^bugfix(es)?[/-]
increment: Patch
release:
regex: ^releases?[/-]
increment: Patch
hotfix:
regex: ^hotfix(es)?[/-]
increment: Patch
support:
regex: ^support[/-]
increment: Patch
pull-request:
regex: ^pull-requests?[/-]
increment: Patch

What is expected?

Async Command Start: Update Build Number
Update build number to 2.0.16 for build 80874
Async Command End: Update Build Number
Finishing: Calculate Version

Steps to Reproduce

upgrade to gitversion 6 and gitversiontask2 in ADO pipeline
