NX Release: Ability to run nx version without tagging and then run nx version with tagging later

[sir-captainmorgan21]

Hi,

First sorry if this is technically functional today. I just couldn't seem to get it working.

I am trying to essentially recreate release-please form Google: https://github.com/googleapis/release-please.

In order to do so, Im looking for the following workflow

1. Dev creates feature branch and does work. Opens PR, gets it approved and merges
2. On merge to main, I want to run nx release to "stage" the release via a release PR (that would be reviewed by devs and merged). Meaning, I want to bump the package.jsons and add to the CHANGELOGs. I want to do this without creating a tag or release.
3. Once the release PR is merged, I then want to create the tag and release and publish the package

This doesn't seem possible atm. I tried to simulate this locally by runnning nx release version (which updated the files and staged them). Then I ran nx release version --git-commit --git-tag. This resulting in nothing being done.
