Expected Behavior

However I'm expecting "SemVer": "0.2.0-dev.997" to be "SemVer": "0.2.0-beta.1",

Actual Behavior

"SemVer": "0.2.0-dev.997"

Possible Fix

Create a new commit in the release/* branch and then it gets a proper tag.

• Version Used: 5.6.10+Branch.main.Sha.e9013533474e8e46b6a0ca60d20d02f3680b5980
• I'm using dotnet-gitversion in Fedora.

I believe the issue happens because the tag 0.2.0-dev997 exists and it has a priority over the branch name.
