The Makefile used by dependenent projects attempts to reuse the REPO_VERSION environment variable if set, otherwise falls back to generating a new value using git-describe-semver.
This tool becomes confused if two tags point to the same commit and does not know which tag to list (ideally the latest stable tag if matching the same commit as a RC tag) so we work around that by always having release builds use the tag provided by GitHub Actions (which matches exactly the tag pushed).
