Thanks Raul for asking. For the moment, to get it set up, it was simplest to just have the tag, which we can then move to a different commit upon another release. Jacob has started pushing the CRAN maintenance branches to the main repo (from 14.0.2 onwards) with "-cran" as the suffix, so the head of those branches for the CRAN release will also match up to the version on RUniverse as it's the same version. We could rename them to something other than "-cran" to make it less ambiguous though.
