Sure -- the tag is a marker that points to a specific revision of the
source code that we use to build the LibreOffice executables.

Every change that we make to the source code of LibreOffice goes into
a git version control repository as a "commit". When we build
LibreOffice, we pick a particular commit and build the code based on
that commit (and all of the commits/changes that precede it).

When we create a tag for a release, we're naming a particular commit
in the repository that we'll use to build the binaries for the release.

Does that all make sense?

Here's some more information about git and tagging:
