hacky semantic-release for monorepos

This fork of dhoub/multi-semantic-release replaces setImmediate loops and execa.sync hooks with event-driven flow and finally makes possible to run the most release operations in parallel.

    --first-parent Apply commit filtering to current branch only.
	--ignore-packages  Packages list to be ignored on bumping process (append to the ones that already exist at package.json workspaces)
    --deps.bump Define deps version updating rule. Allowed: override, satisfy, inherit.
		--deps.release Define release type for dependent package if any of its deps changes. Supported values: patch, minor, major, inherit.
    --help Help info.

  Examples
    $ multi-semantic-release --debug
	$ multi-semantic-release --deps.bump=satisfy --deps.release=patch
	$ multi-semantic-release --ignore-packages=packages/a/**,packages/b/**

Configuration

MSR requires semrel config to be added in any supported format for each package or/and declared in repo root (globalConfig is extremely useful if all the modules have the same strategy of release).
NOTE config resolver joins globalConfig and packageConfig during execution.

// Load the package-specific options.
const { options: pkgOptions } = await getConfig(dir);

// The 'final options' are the global options merged with package-specific options.
// We merge this ourselves because package-specific options can override global options.
const finalOptions = Object.assign({}, globalOptions, pkgOptions);

Make sure to have a workspaces attribute inside your package.json project file. In there, you can set a list of packages that you might want to process in the msr process, as well as ignore others. For example, let's say your project has 4 packages (i.e. a, b, c and d) and you want to process only a and d (ignore b and c). You can set the following structure in your package.json file:

{
	"name": "msr-test-yarn",
	"author": "Doug Kulak <[email protected]>",
	"version": "0.0.0-semantically-released",
	"private": true,
	"license": "MIT",
	"engines": {
		"node": ">=8.3"
	},
	"workspaces": [
      "packages/*",
      "!packages/b/**",
      "!packages/c/**"
	],
	"release": {
		"plugins": [
			"@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
			"@semantic-release/release-notes-generator"
		],
		"noCi": true
	}
}

You can also ignore it with the CLI:

$ multi-semantic-release --ignore-packages=packages/b/**,packages/c/**

You can also combine the CLI ignore options with the ! operator at each package inside workspaces attribute. Even though you can use the CLI to ignore options, you can't use it to set which packages to be released – i.e. you still need to set the workspaces attribute inside the package.json.
