This was intentional - to wait with the tags until the tarballs have
been verified *and published*, so we don't end up having to move the
tags later if we find a last-minute problem.

I think the confusion is from the use of "tagged" in the commit
message - it doesn't have anyting to do with tagging from a git/scm
perspective, it's just updating the version tags in the source which
is a completely different operation.
