The procedure is described in the Community Guide. (https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html#rolling-release) Tarballs are rolled from the branch, the RM tests and signs them, and then creates a tag. Existing tarballs follow this pattern as well. Hence, the differences you mentioned are expected. Regards, Evgeny Kotkov
