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?
