release-version --tag: exit early on existing tag

dscho · dscho · commit 0f1a877aa8f5 · 2014-03-19T11:56:56.000-05:00
It can be really, really annoying when the quite long process of testing
and retesting a release candidate is done, successfully, only so that
release-version.sh can complain about an existing tag.

So let's not do that. (Fail early, fail often!)
