Title: Feature/version is required only in finish

Defining the version number at start is not very easy, specifically for a team.

* developper1 : start hotfix 1.0.1
* developper2 : start hotfix 1.0.1
* developper1 : finish hotfix 1.0.1

For me, hotfixes are better named by issue tracker numbers.

It's less true when starting a release as this is "team wide", but with this patch, release can have names, not only numbers.
