tag_regex not working with setuptools_scm 3.4.1
With setuptools_scm 3.4.1, custom tag_regex expressions are not working correctly.

My setup.py contains:

    ...
    setup_args["use_scm_version"] = {
        "tag_regex": r"^(?P<prefix>.*/)?(?P<version>\d+(?:\.\d+){1,2})$"
        }
    setup_args["setup_requires"] = ['setuptools_scm']

    setuptools.setup(**setup_args)

setuptools_scm 3.4.0 works:

    $ python3 setup.py --version
    0.4.1.dev7+gc2397c5'

With 3.4.1:

    $ python3 setup.py --version
    /home/kolbus/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/setuptools_scm/version.py:92: UserWarning: tag 'development/0.4.0' no version found
