Subject: Update the release manager guide to clean up the tagging instructions
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f662f3b795bf72e495d34174bea334bddb3c6d0f;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Update the release manager guide to clean up the tagging instructions

dapm++ pointed out that I'd duplicated the "create a tag" instructions
while doing 5.11.0.  Because of dmq's new tag-based releng
infrastructure, the tag step needed to move earlier.
