version:absorb always throws 'GitTagNotFound' Error.

[butcherman]

I am trying to setup my config file to use the latest commit hash, but when I try to run the 'absorb' command, I get the 'GitTagNotFound' error. I tried the fixes in #48, but they did not do the trick.

I got the same issue as you but upon further investigation, it's because of the matcher field. Even if you have Git tags, so long as the format doesn't match the regex in matcher, it will show up throw the GitTagNotFound exception.

@antonioribeiro already highlighted here that you'd have to change the regex to match whatever Git tag format you use. Try using this regex fiddler to see if the version tag (run git describe) can be matched by the regex in matcher.

I also had a similar problem I had to update the git version local matcher from just git describe to git describe --tags. Note you first need a tag associated with your latest commit that matches your version format e.g. a tag 1.0.0 for your first git commit hash.
