required min. version of git

[patrickp-at-work]

I've run auto-changelog successfully and then on Jenkins, it failed to parse the releases. Turns out, Jenkins was using an old version of git (1.8). auto-changelog claims to be running on git >= 1.7.2. After upgrade to newer git, the issue was resolved.

How the library gathers release tags:
See line 9

auto-changelog/src/tags.js

Line 9 in 135d2af

const tags = (await cmd(`git tag -l --sort=-creatordate --format=${format}`))

git tag -l --sort=-creatordate --format=${format}

A colleague gave me the hint that

creatordate applicable for git versions above 2.7.6.

You may want to update the README accordingly

Hello @cookpete, is this project still maintained by you?

[cookpete]

It is. I just have very little time to commit to open source stuff at the moment. Sorting out this and react-player is on my (ever growing) list of things I want to get to.
