Hi!

Horst currently uses a tagging scheme like version-X.Y. this makes GitHub generate a tarball (and its content) that is weirdly named:

$ tar zft ../version-5.0.tar.gz  | head -1
horst-version-5.0/

If you would use the more conventional vX.Y or simply X.Y as a naming scheme, Github would strip away that v letter an create a more reasonable tarball:

$ tar zft ../build-area/horst-5.0.tar.gz  | head -1
horst-5.0/

This would be useful for the Debian package I am maintaining as it would make it possible to reproducibly rebuild the original tarball from the Git source more easily.

Thanks!

Sorry for the long delay. Thanks for the suggestion - will do so from now (v5.1) on.
