When the latest tag is an RTM, and is on an older commit, the patch version is incremented. E.g. if the latest tag is 1.0.0 at a height of 3 commits, the current commit version is 1.0.1-alpha.0.3.

Some projects do not use the patch version, so it would make more sense for the version to be 1.1.0-alpha.0.3. Some projects may even not use the minor version, which means the version should be 2.0.0-alpha.0.3.

This could be configurable via a new option.
