Ok, so if tags don't relate to releases, how can I obtain a specific release from github?

Currently I do this:

> git clone git://github.com/bestpractical/rt.git /opt/rt4
> cd /opt/rt4
> git checkout rt-4.0.7
> ./configure.ac
> rm -rf autom4te.cache
> ./configure --enable-layout=inplace  --enable-gd  --with-db-type=Pg
> make testdeps
> make install
> apachectl restart

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
