// Find the nearest tag to the current HEAD
// This is equivilant to our old logic of "use a value in package.json" for the following reasons
//
// 1. Whenever we updated the package.json we ALSO pushed a tag with the same version
// 2. Whenever we _reverted_ a bump all we actually did was push a commit that deleted the tag and changed the version number back
//
// The only difference in the "git describe" technique is that technically a commit can "change" it's version
// number if a tag is created / removed retroactively. i.e. the first time a commit is pushed it will be 1.2.3
// and after the tag is made rebuilding the same commit will result in it being 1.2.4
