Option to increment minor or major version instead of patch

See original GitHub issue

When the latest tag is an RTM, and is on an older commit, the patch version is incremented. E.g. if the latest tag is 1.0.0 at a height of 3 commits, the current commit version is 1.0.1-alpha.0.3.

Some projects do not use the patch version, so it would make more sense for the version to be 1.1.0-alpha.0.3. Some projects may even not use the minor version, which means the version should be 2.0.0-alpha.0.3.

This could be configurable via a new option.
