Description

Some commits don't need to be released as their own version, so there could be a way to ignore them. For example this can be done via ignore an option that excludes commits based on their title (like this other action) or simply by detecting [norelease] in the commit description

Current logic:

if HEAD is tagged
	exit

Desired logic:

commit = HEAD
while commit is ignored
	commit = commit.parent

if commit is tagged
	exit

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement logic to skip commits with '[norelease]' or matching ignore patterns by walking up the commit tree until a non ignored tagged commit is found.
