According your method , I found several tags like this:
       version_3_3_17                  (branch: 1.8.6)
       version_3_3_13                  (branch: 1.8.4)
       branch_3_2                      (branch: 1.8.2)
       version_2                       (branch: 1.6.2)
       v2_0_8                          (branch: 1.5.2)
       gdbm-branch                     (branch: 1.3.2)

I checked out version_3_3_13 successfully, so your method is correct.

Thank you.
