1.5.0

This release is a significant milestone in the project.

It improves release management by supporting update of the tag associated
with an existing release.

It improves the erase command supporting --keep-pattern. This allows
to exclude a subset of the packages already matched by the provided selection
pattern.

It drastically improves the command-line user experience (support --help) and
the documentation.

It also adds a new reference command to create, delete and list tags
and branches.

In addition of the original author @j0057, the core
team now includes @jcfr.
