# The tag decides *when* to publish; package.json decides *what* version
# is published. Nothing tied the two together, so `git tag v0.2.0` on a
# tree still saying 0.1.0 would publish 0.1.0 — or fail as "already
# published" — with the tag claiming otherwise. Fail before the registry
# call instead, while it is still free to fix.
