For example, if releasing version 0.14, the tags will be: barry-0.14 Tag on master branch, signifying the development point that the release occured barry-0.14.tar.bz2 Contains the exact contents of the full tar.bz2 release tarball. If you look far enough in the history logs, you will find the barry-0.14 tag. barry_0.14.orig.tar.gz Contains the exact contents of the debian source package tarball. Again, barry-0.14 will be in this tag's history. Basically, the first tag contains only the source code, and no generated files. The second tag (tar.bz2) contains the source code and all generated files. And the third tag (orig) contains all of tar.bz2 *except* the debian/ directory. They are arranged so all history merges back into the main non-generated source development tree.
