I was downloading and building from scratch (as a separate user, not
associated with development). In other words, I was playing the role of
a new user downloading and building the release (as best I could).
There is no autogen.sh in these release tarballs, that step is already
done.

which means that the set of files in the tarball is inconsistent. Which
will be down to some misunderstanding about how to use tags.

Well, as each release branch started with the name stable_ and then a
release number, this is not a strong argument.

More seriously, this tag idea perhaps does not fit with how we make
releases. We decide that the master branch looks like it is a good state
(we used to freeze check-ins for a week or so, though as it was mostly
me doing the development, we haven't done that recently) and then make a
branch. Then we create a candidate release tarball and binaries for
testing and send the denemo.pot off to translationproject.org. During
the next few weeks we test (and hope others have picked up the binaries
and tried them). If all is well we apply the translations, generate a
tarball and binaries and check them for sanity and, all again being well
we sign and upload them to ftp.gnu.org and announce the release.
So there are always some changes to push to the release branch, and in
principle there could be fixes that just applied to a release, though we
are not at that level of sophistication and always just tell people to
get the latest release.
I don't know whether this fits the tag thing well, but there needs to be
something in return for learning new git concepts and new syntax (I am
hopeless at all that, but fortunately others have always helped with
this side of things).
