Bug: Fails when inital version is 0.0.1 about semver HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @ntziolis, thank you for spotting this!

Initially we had an --initial-release flag but we removed it as we wanted to make it transparent for the user. It seems to be weak to base our assumption on what's Nx generate (0.0.1), so I would suggest to update the getCurrentVersion function with the following logic :

• get the last semver tag
• (first fallback) get the last tag git describe --tags --abbrev=0
• (second fallback) get the first commit git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

This would also fix users that started to release using another tool with different tag format (without tag prefix for example).

• (second fallback) get the first commit git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD

That would be perfect as this doesn't require the user to intervene manually in majority of cases.
