Please see my blog post cited at the start of this thread. There is
absolutely no need for the release tarball to be file-to-file identical
with the release tag for this to be easy; it's trivial regardless of how
different the tarball is from the release tag unless it's pathologically
different (uses a completely different file layout, for example).
