While you can fix this in the main repo, such a changed tag will not
be updated in existing clones via git pull, as git will not overwrite
tags.  The git-tag manpage talks a bit about this:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-tag.html#_on_re_tagging

While on the subject of tags, any reason that you don't use annotated
tags?  Doing so would let you gpg sign the tags (with your key or the
RL release key).  Then folks using git could easily and securely
verify their clone via:

$ git tag -v 0.25.4
