No, this is not about changing a tag. This is about creating new ones.
Let's say we've tagged 4.6.0 with "git tag -a 4.6.0" and later tag "git
tag -a 4.6.1". That's when you'd get the email above: it tells you the
previous tag and gives you a list of authors and commit subjects
between the previous tag and the new one.

I've tested and it seems to work independently of the tag naming
scheme. So we're good with xfce-x.y.z instead of just x.y.z.
