…on inference When generating changelogs or inferring version bumps: - Revert commits that cancel out their target (both in current changelog) are removed - Standalone reverts (target not in changelog) appear as bug fixes with patch bump - Nested reverts (Revert Revert...) are handled by processing in reverse chronological order - SHA-based matching is preferred, with title matching as fallback

Summary
When generating changelogs or inferring version bumps, revert commits are now handled properly:
Revert cancellation: When both a revert commit and its target are in the current changelog, they cancel each other out (neither appears in the changelog nor affects version bump)
Standalone reverts: When a revert's target is not in the current changelog (e.g., was in a previous release), the revert appears in the Bug Fixes category with a patch version bump
Nested reverts: Chains like
Revert "Revert "..."are handled correctly using a single-pass algorithm that processes commits in git log order (newest-first)Matching Strategy
