Deploying a tag based on a semver constrait

[gocom]

Being able to deploy a specific tag based on semantic versioning constraint similarly to Composer would be awesome. Along the lines of:

$env->version('3.2.*');

Where it then clones and checks out the latest tag from 3.2.x, e.g. tags/3.2.14.

PHP has few semver parsers that implements the full spec and allow constraints, making resolving pretty easy; run git tags, $tags = explode("\n", $output) and find the highest satisfying version from the array, along the lines of:

use vierbergenlars\SemVer\expression;
$expression = new expression($env->version);
$version = $expression->maxSatisfying($tags);

Then checkout the tag in the $version, e.g. git checkout tags/$version.

I likey.

This would be helpful across the board for specifying any type of version whether it be the repository being deployed, or a dependency such as Wordpress or plugins, etc.
