gitversion seems to pick the wrong base version, when using git flow while tagging on develop.
I created a demo project in the following manner:
A master branch and a branched of develop branch
I tagged the initial commit on master with v1.0.0
I made some changes, so that i got gitversion to calculate v1.1.0-alpha.2 on my develop branch.
I (lightweight) tagged that commit with the tag name v1.1.0-alpha.2 on develop
Then i made a change again and committed it to develop.
The gitversion setup was standard git flow.
Expected Behavior
I was expecting that gitversion output is v1.1.0-alpha.3 because it should calculate the distance between the alpha tag on develop and my recent change.
Actual Behavior
gitversion outputs 1.1.0-alpha5 as the distance between the initial commit tagged 1.0.0 on master
I was also seeing that under some circumstances it behaved correctly (as described under exptected behaviour). I wasn't able to narrow that down but at some point I was also seeing that the usage of /diag outputs it the way I was expecting it. It wasn't possible for me to make it completly reproducable even after clean check outs and usage of /nocache.
Steps to Reproduce
7097 git init
7098 git add *
7099 git commit -a -m "initial commit"
7100 git checkout -b develop
7102 git checkout master
7103 git tag v1.0.0
7105 git checkout develop
7107 echo "change1" > testfile
7108 git commit -a -m "1 change"
7110 echo "change2" > testfile
7111 git commit -a -m "2 change"
7118 git tag v1.1.0-alpha.2
7124 echo "change4" > testfile
7125 git commit -a -m "4 change"
