Yes, what I do on my projects is:

  1. Do any final polish for the release, documentation updates, etc.
  2. git tag -s project-M.N.O
  3. git clean -Xdf
  4. autoreconf -f -i
  5. ./configure
  6. make distcheck
  7. Unpack and make check the release tarball.
  8. Install and test.
  9. If issues are found, then fix and goto 2 (with -f).
  10. git push origin master
  11. If push failed due to new commits, rebase or merge and goto 2.
  10. git push origin project-M.N.O
  11. Upload the tarballs to the release site.
