John,

I notice that our release tags appear on branched commits. I mean the release that gets tagged 
is not part of the master branch. While working in svn this was expected as svn really did 
create a separate commit per tag. For git I find this a bit unexpected.

The side effect is that the release tag mails include all commits since the initial commit instead 
of only since the previous release.

This is because the mail script looks for a previous tag on the same branch to calculate 
changes in this release.

So I just wonder in what way to fix this ? Do we need the tags to be on a separate branch or not 
?
