692 - Pushing a git tag causes Alpha rebuild

What steps will reproduce the problem?
On a local and uptodate checkout of the git repo
1. git tag tagname
2. git push --tags
3. Profit

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is the packager produces a Beta or Release package based on the tag pushed.

Actual output is the packager produces a Beta or Release package based on the tag pushed, and a repeat of the Alpha package for the HEAD commit with the same name and change log but a different MD5 sum.

At what time and date (year, month, day) did you get this bug? (Include your timezone)

Ok so I apparently spoke too soon. It'll be worth investigating why the re-packaged alpha gets a different MD5, though my money is on a timestamp field somewhere in the file. Not that it really hurts much, does it?
Still, don't push unannotated tags.

Don't use 'git tag', it makes unannotated tags (use -a or -s).
If you use 'git tag', don't push them.
If you push them, don't be surprised.
