--dev should not use tags

[ian29]

im trying trying to deploy a branch of dynamosm-operator that uses a dev pacakge of dynamosm, but hitting a Expected version 0.6.0 of dynamosm but found 0.12.1 error from mbx deploy. this is because --dev first gets it's gitsha from git describe --tags rather than just reading package.json: https://github.com/mapbox/npm-internal/blob/master/index.js#L48

i think the ideal behavior would be to always always read the package.json version and never tags (assuming it's unlikely that if you're publishing a dev pkg that you've incremented the tag).

i can do a quickie PR that just removes https://github.com/mapbox/npm-internal/blob/master/index.js#L48 ?
