  // 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
