It exists only in the reflog on the machine that built the tarballs: I re-made the tarballs (that's why they're 3.1-1) after making an inconsequential change to CMakeLists.txt, to wit:
--- a/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -14,11 +14,11 @@ ENABLE_TESTING()
 SET (GNUCASH_MAJOR_VERSION 3)
 SET (GNUCASH_MINOR_VERSION 1)
 SET (VERSION "${GNUCASH_MAJOR_VERSION}.${GNUCASH_MINOR_VERSION}")

+SET (PACKAGE_VERSION 3.1)
 SET (PACKAGE_BUGREPORT gnucash-devel at gnucash.org)
 SET (PACKAGE_TARNAME ${PACKAGE})
 SET (PACKAGE_STRING "${PACKAGE_NAME} ${PACKAGE_VERSION}")

Neither variable is actually used for anything, so a better change would probably be to simply remove them.

The difference between 3.1-2 and 3.1-3 is that the latter is built with the latest release of libofx (0.9.13 instead of 0.9.10) to see if it fixes Chris Good's OFX import problem (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795347). It appears instead to have caused other problems. The "official" current release on Windows is 3.1-2.
