Description

My aim is to support having something like https://www.conventionalcommits.org/ in the maven-release-plugin.

This simply means that the next version of a release is calculated from the last tag in the version history and the patterns in the commit messages since that tag.

To support this idea the maven-scm should be extended to also retrieve the tags with the changelog command on SCM implementations that support this idea.
