In GitVersion, a tag is not the same thing as a Git tag, which I find a bit confusing. Wanting to reference a Git tag and use it as the value of the pre-release tag makes it even more confusing. It is currently not possible to do this, but discussions on Gitter might indicate that something like this would be very handy:

branches:
  release:
    tag: useLatestTagLabel

However, it would be easier to understand if we renamed the pre-release tag to label:

branches:
  release:
    label: useFromLatestTag

This would allow for alternating pre-release labels on the same branch, such that a beta could be promoted to rc and stay at rc without having to tag every commit on that branch.

Thoughts?
