Subject: [PATCH] Sort git tags when determining prerelease version

Tags are sorted lexicographically by default, not by version,
so for example right now `git ls-remote` for this repo shows:

```
$ git ls-remote --tags \
  https://github.com/github/copilot-cli \
  | tail -3 | awk -F/ '{print$NF}'
v1.0.8
v1.0.8-0
v1.0.9
```

With the sort option, it shows the correct latest prerelease tags:

```
$ git ls-remote --tags --sort "version:refname" \
  https://github.com/github/copilot-cli \
  | tail -3 | awk -F/ '{print$NF}'
v1.0.12-0
v1.0.12-1
v1.0.12-2
```

This option for git ls-remote was added in git version 2.18.0 in June 2018:
