Sometimes the changelog generated is very strange about sv4git HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,

sv4git works with annotated tags, it seems that you stopped to use annotated tags and started to use lightweight instead. Is there any reason for that?

$ git for-each-ref refs/tags  
a47ef71c68fbdcc3a85bb1d42518c3e81cc7f1e7 tag	refs/tags/v1.0.0-beta
bff00c1342bd1122c6687a17090abc45ea8373c6 tag	refs/tags/v1.1.0-beta
84110f85855352dcbf9d10fe4d61689bbf5165c7 tag	refs/tags/v1.2.0
d25cf252fc7a0ec72719d798575fe1b46dceedcf tag	refs/tags/v1.3.0
731595726eeb7f184cf36c40cd822f17d89b6e5b commit	refs/tags/v1.4.2
0ec75357e695e7e19691c1397eb7d02034ef7c23 commit	refs/tags/v1.5.0
61c1e9adc6e37e92a974f32a6f156067427509b7 commit	refs/tags/v1.5.1

The taggerdate is used to sort tags from repo, and lightweight tags don't have this date

$ git tag -l --format "%(taggerdate:iso8601) %(refname:short)"
2021-03-24 09:28:09 +0100 v1.0.0-beta
2021-03-25 14:16:36 +0100 v1.1.0-beta
2021-03-26 18:05:52 +0100 v1.2.0
2021-03-27 18:02:57 +0100 v1.3.0
 v1.4.2
 v1.5.0
 v1.5.1

It's not only git sv cgl that it's not working, current-version, next-version and tag are broken as well, because git describe get the last annotated tag (v1.3.0).

$ git sv cv
1.3.0
$ git sv nv
1.4.0

I think that I can change it to support both tags (annotated and lightweight), but when using lightweight tags, the date from your tag is the commit date, so your release date will be the same as the last commit and not the date the tag was created. Eg.:

Thank for theses informations.
I think support both and take date of commit for lightweight tag seems good.

I forgot about the empty releases, currently sv4git only shows feat, fix and breaking changes on changelog, if your tag don't have any, it will be blank :(

In the future I would like to add a misc section to changelog, but I don't know when..

$ git sv cl -t v1.5.1                                          
{"date":"2021-04-10","hash":"61c1e9a","message":{"type":"chore","description":"v1.5.1 (#27)"}}
{"date":"2021-04-10","hash":"3216a77","message":{"type":"chore","description":"Add build tools (#26)"}}

from sv4git.

Indeed i noticed this :-)

Maybe in configuration allows the user to add the headers he wants for each type, if he doesn't add the type in headers, dont show it in changelog.

yeah, and some way to aggregate more than one type as well.. but I need to make headers flexible on template first..

support for lightweight tags is available in version 2.2.0

Thanks ! As always you're awesome :-)
