One reason is so that 'git describe' can distinguish between a commit
on the maint-5.24 and blead branches. So a blead commit soon after
5.24 is released will appear as e.g. v5.25.0-XX-gYYYYYYY, while
a maint commit will appear as v5.24.0-XX-gYYYYYY
Otherwise they both appear confusingly as v5.24.0-something.
