[Bug] Cannot create a version with build metadata

[tyb-dev]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Expected Behavior

Create a build with SemVer2 build metadata attached which is specific for a particular release.

Actual Behavior

According to SemVer2, the build metadata may be used to add additional information to a release. GitVersion ignores build metadata in both next-version and git tag.

Possible Fix

When a release tag explicitly includes build metadata, include it in the version string, or allow specifying it via branch name or commit message.

Steps to Reproduce

$ tag 1.0.0+special
$ gitversion
(...)
 "FullSemVer": "1.0.0",

Context

I'd like to create special builds that sometimes come with build metadata.

Your Environment

Ubuntu 22.04

Yeah, this seems like a hole we should fill. Pull requests welcome!

@tyb-dev can you tell us which version did you use ? and also if you have tried the latest beta? https://www.nuget.org/packages/GitVersion.Tool/6.0.0-beta.1
