Since cairo also uses git, we do the "bump; tag; bump" sequence as
local commits that are pushed atomically. So the released version is
available in the history and can be checked out by its tag. But at no
point will someone that is tracking the head of development get a
build that results in an even-numbered version.

I do regard the approach as quite successful for cairo, for what
that's worth.
