Tag the matching commits against the currently supported versions of React Native

[blakef]

Problem

We need accurate tags in the project for the currently supported versions of React Native, so the CLI can match and initialise the correct template. These might, in-fact, be the same commits but we need to be sure.

Currently supported versions

See here, but the list is:

Version	Type	Support level
0.74.x	Next version	Future
0.73.x	Latest stable	Active
0.72.x	Previous (-1) minor series	Active
0.71.x	Previous (-2) minor series	End of Cycle
<=0.70.x	Old minor series	Unsupported

any update ?

actually using the lasted cli or even an older one does not allow to create new project above version 0.74.7

if you run for example the command:

npx @react-native-community/cli init AwesomeProject --version 0.77.2 --verbose

you will get error:

npx @react-native-community/cli init AwesomeProject --version 0.77.2 --verbose
debug Failed to get concrete version from '0.77.2': , Error: Unknown version react-native@0.77.2
debug [template]: is '0.77.2 (0.77.2)' < '0.75.0' = no, look for template in @react-native-community/template
error Cannot convert undefined or null to object.
TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Could you open this issue against https://github.com/react-native-community/cli as that's where that logic lives

You may need to specify a template

npx @react-native-community/cli@latest init ProjectName --version 0.79.2 --template @react-native-community/template@latest

that's ok
