[Bug] Using output of showconfig for config file results in invalid config

[ptr727]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

5.5.1 does not work, 5.3.7 does work.
I wanted to modify the regex for master to include main.
I ran gitversion /showconfig, and pasted the output into my config file.
I then run /showconfig again wanting to confirm the config is ok.
But, the config is reported as invalid.

Expected Behavior

I expect that a config file created from the output of /showconfig should work and produce the same output.

Actual Behavior

Config file created from /showconfig output does not work.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

Context

Trying to get main branch working with the last version of gitversion that produces the expected version output.

Config file:

mode: Mainline
next-version: 1.4.0

Replace config file with output from above.

PS C:\Users\piete\source\repos\Utilities> gitversion /showconfig
Mainline mode only works at the repository level, a single branch cannot be put into mainline mode

This is because mainline mode treats your entire git repository as an event source with each merge into the 'mainline' incrementing the version.

If the docs do not help you decide on the mode open an issue to discuss what you are trying to do.

Your Environment

Version 5.3.7, and 5.5.1

/showconfig gives you the effective configuration, not necessarily what's possible to configure in GitVersion.yml. We should probably clarify that somehow.
