Option to remove "v" from a git tag

[MarkWieczorek]

The releases of my project use the tag convention "v4.7". When using jekyll-version-plugin in my project's web documentation, however, sometimes it would be more appropriate to use "4.7" than "v4.7"

Would it be possible to provide an optional argument that would strip off the leading "v" from a version string (if it exists)?

Just use liquid to trim it
