Pubspec file is getting updated with invalid version tag.

[subhroacharjee]

TL;DR

If a release pull request is made to increment the minor version, and there exist multiple pre-releases following to it, the pubspec file within the release pull request will have an invalid version, as shown in the images below.

Expected behavior

The intended functionality is that if the release pull request is for version v2.1.0, the pubspec file should also be updated to version v2.1.0 without being affected by any +-rc tags, even if there are multiple pre-release following the release pr.

Observed behavior

If a release pull request is created to increase the minor version, and there are multiple subsequent pre-releases, the pubspec file within the release pull request will have a version that combines the new release version with the current+1 pre-release version. For instance, if the release pull request is for version v2.1.0 and the current pre-release is v2.0.1-rc.2, the pubspec file version in the release pull request will be v2.1.0+-rc.3, which is an invalid version.
