I'm not sure whether I understand your problem correctly. As far as I
understood git the most common practice is to have a master branch and
there you are tagging your releases. If you create additional branches
for development these will be merged into master once a release is done
and than you tag the release.
Anyway, for the moment I can check out the final release tarballs for
2.2.0 from
http://biopp.univ-montp2.fr/Repositories/sources/
which is perfectly sufficient. It would be great if you start wit
tagging released at Github from your next version on.
Kind regards
Andreas.
