--- Comment #1 from Alicia Boya García <aboya at igalia.com> ---
This is caused by the `git remote update origin` command that does not seem to
(always) update tags, though it does in other projects (e.g. GStreamer) for
reasons I don't know.

I'm uploading a tarball of my local clone of the repository right before the
problem was reproduced. You can move it to a temporary directory and run these
commands to confirm this is the source of the problem:

> tar xf webkitgtk-test-fonts.tar.gz
> cd webkitgtk-test-fonts
> git remote update origin

   8b9eed0..3968ea8  master     -> origin/master

This is not a problem if the local repository is updated with `git fetch --tags`:

> cd ..
> rm -rf webkitgtk-test-fonts
> tar xf webkitgtk-test-fonts.tar.gz
> cd webkitgtk-test-fonts
> git fetch origin --tags
remote: Counting objects: 19, done.

Unpacking objects: 100% (19/19), done.
>From https://github.com/WebKitGTK/webkitgtk-test-fonts
   8b9eed0..3968ea8  master     -> origin/master
 * [new tag]         0.0.7      -> 0.0.7
