releases: break up first git tag for verification purposes

I'm not sure what went wrong, but the first RC I cut had some trouble
with the tag being picked up with `git describe`, I think it was missing
a 'tag message'. I'm not sure what caused this.

This commit breaks up the first git tag procedure to have the releaser
verify that the tag command works as intended (and sensitizes them to
checking this for subsequent release cuts, if necessary)
