Current Behavior

Given a monorepo with a set of packages, each with its own project.json file.

The nx.json file resides in a repo subdirectory called typescript, along with package.json

The path to each package is typescript/packages/<project_name>

nx.json is set up to use Conventional commits and independent packages:

    "release": {
        "version": { "conventionalCommits": true },
        "projectsRelationship": "independent"
    }

I have created a commit that changes some file belonging to a package, with a "fix:" prefix in the commit header.

When I run npx nx release version --dry-run it fails to detect any changes, ie. 🚫 No changes were detected using git history and the conventional commits standard.

Expected Behavior

I expect NX release to be able to detect changes if the NX workspace directory is not the root directory of the monorepo

GitHub Repo

https://github.com/hkfb/webviz-subsurface-components/tree/nx_release

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone the repo and check out the nx_release tag
2. In the typescript directory run npx nx release version --dry-run -p subsurface-viewer
