Adam Spiers a9f79c6a5b make sure release tags are also pushed to GitHub 2016-11-20 22:50:22 +00:00
Adam Spiers 17bbfb05c6 further refine the release process
Let's try a new approach where we increment the version number
immediately after publishing a release, not just before.

This will mean that anyone who builds from git gets a version of Stow
which is higher than the release which was just cut, and this could
provide valuable debugging hints in case a bug report does not clearly
state whether the problem arose with the latest release or with a build
from git.

Adam Spiers 7faa1d86dc HOWTO-RELEASE: use gnulib for gendocs instead of texinfo
