[asdf-devel] ASDF Git: please remove tags, etc.

[Faré]

Apparently, for quite a few months (did it start with me or with gwking?),
we've been misusing git tag -f FOO as if the latest version of the tag
would be propagated when we push, whereas it isn't - on purpose -
since tags are meant to be constant.

I invite all committers to run the following Makefile target to erase git tags
that have been misused this way, as well as an obvious typo:
   make fix-local-git-tags
(That would be mostly me and rpg).
It's not a bad thing to do if you're using ASDF from git,
even without being a committer.

To future maintainers: I have also written a script
bin/bump-version.sh to bump the version.

For users, since 2.011, we've improved the source-registry and
output-translations
configuration DSLs, given examples in the documentation of how to configure AOT
to store things in a subdirectory of the current one, and made, fix a
bug in corner cases, etc.

I intend to release 2.012 before the end of the year. Will hopefully be my last.
(I've said that in the past.)

I took over the asdf-announce mailing-list for announcing releases.
I invite Lisp implementers, distribution makers, etc., to subscribe to it
(rather than to this mailing-list) to know when to update their software.
