Description

I'm trying to use semantic-release but I want my previous release to be a pre-release (v2.0.0-alpha.1). This tag already exists (no other tags exist). When running semantic-release, the next inferred version is v1.0.0-alpha.1. Any way I can get it to detect the previous tag and to bump to v2.0.0-alpha.2?

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing semantic-release with the existing v2.0.0-alpha.1 tag and inspect how the next version is inferred; done means either inferring v2.0.0-alpha.2 or clearly documenting why that behavior is unsupported.
