Handle commits of type "revert"

[f0rr0]

Given commits: A -> B -> C -> D -> HEAD

I did:

$ git revert --no-commit D
$ git revert --no-commit C
$ git revert --no-commit B
$ git commit -m "revert(something): restore some other thing"

semantic-release skipped a new release for this commit.

Is this expected behaviour? What is the correct way to revert commits and make a new release?

If you have a revert commit and the reverted commit within the same release (i.e. between the last release and HEAD) semantic-release will ignore both because as they cancel each other they don't change the code therefore doesn't require a release.

If you have a revert commit without the commit it revert in the release than semantic-release will do a patch release.

See #78 (comment)

See https://semantic-release.gitbook.io/semantic-release/support/faq#how-can-i-revert-a-release

Closing as I imagine the previous comment answered your question.

Here I'm having the issue with a prelease branch, is it intended ?

1. I push a feat: something on my prerelease branch -> it make a pre-release
2. I push a revert commit -> it does not make the pre-release

Am I missing something ?
Should I create a separate issue for this ?

thanks for your help.
