Hi Reuben,

That definitely needs to be changed, or perhaps better, removed.
For all projects where I make releases, the only mechanism
I use to create tags is by running this script:

    build-aux/do-release-commit-and-tag

and I do that only as part of following the procedure
described by README-release, e.g.,

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/README-release
