Description

Inspired by crate-ci/cargo-release#637, I suspect we could make the version metadata easier to manage. As cargo set-version doesn't have a config file, we'd likely want to be opinionated since it doesn't help to have to set the value on the command line as well. I proposed having the "persistent" behavior described in the cargo-release issue.

Research direction

Start with the cargo set-version command and compare the persistent behavior proposed in crate-ci/cargo-release#637. Determine how version metadata is currently supplied and where a project-level value could be managed. Done means agreeing on an opinionated persistent configuration behavior and documenting its expected use.
