Description

Hi!

I have a usecase where I want a v1 and v2 version of a project in the same repo. Currently it seems to only be able to use a single version number, but I want it to bump according to the branch. Is there a way to get this to work? Currently it just seems to take whatever was the latest version anywhere, and bump that.

Thank you!

Research direction

Start by tracing how the action selects the latest version across branches and clarify the desired v1/v2 tagging rules. Done means the branch-specific versioning use case is supported and its behavior is documented.
