Can auto create a patch for a specific minor in an older major version?

Hi, champs!

You guys are doing an amazing job, and I'm loving it!

After reading the docs and browsing through old issues in Github, I couldn't find my answer, so hoping I can get help here.

I understand that auto currently supports Managing Old Major Versions. However, I'm not sure if it's possible to bump up a patch version of a specific minor version. Let me clarify.

So, let's say I released a version of my software about a year ago and tagged it at v1.0.0. auto (with the help of version branch) created a branch version-1.

So I keep adding features and fixing bugs and before you know it, the software is now at version v4.0.0. But now I have a bug on version v1.3.0 of the software and the person that needs it fixed is not ready to upgrade to version v4.0.0.

Therefore, I want to release a patch for v1.3.0 => v1.3.1. Is this possible with auto, if so, what are the steps?

Thanks
