Shouldn't there be a go1.9.2rc2 tag?

$ git pull ; git tag | grep go1.9
Already up-to-date.
go1.9
go1.9.1
go1.9beta1
go1.9beta2
go1.9rc1
go1.9rc2

[rsc]

@magiconair, no, in order to preserve the ability to easily shuffle the set of CLs going into the point releases, nothing is committed to the release branch except the final point release bits. So there isn't a tag like for the major releases, just the binary distributions above. You can check out the corresponding source by hash - see the "Latest build" section in the status message in the note above. I will make sure that same comment appears in the pre-release distribution comments too.

[magiconair]

@rsc This makes sense. Thx for the explanation.

[rsc]

@magiconair, I realized that I can push tags without having the CLs on the release branch, and I've updated the scripts to do that. The next packaging will have a tag.
