Anyone here knows how to consistently obtain the previous tag

Are tags always coming in order? Then it's easy:
git tag | tail -n2 | head -n1

Not in semver order unfortunately. This will be changed in new
git version though

Andrew, what is your desired definiton of "prior"? This `git
abbrev` command finds previos named commit by traversing _commit_
history. If it returns v2.066.0-b1 that means that this tag was
created later in the commit sequence than v2.066.0 (which is not
surprising)
