that's what tags are for (see below).

[ ] If there are problems reported by 'make distcheck', fix
them. If you made changes in the tree to get 'make distcheck'
running, commit+push them and repeat from the beginning of this
sub-section.
[ ] If 'make distcheck' passed and created tarballs, go to the next
item.
[ ] A successful run of the 'make distcheck' would create the final
dist tarballs. It will include a ChangeLog generated from the 'git
log'. Note that we don't bother with any release commit, that's
what tags are for (see below).
( ) Use md5sum to create a checksum of the tarball (tar.bz2).
( ) Upload the tarball (tar.bz2) and the .md5 file to your home directory
on ftp.gimp.org. Keep a copy of the .md5 file around.
( ) Commit the changes to generated files that were changed by
running 'make dist'.
