The pedestrian way would be to just check out a working copy on the 
branch, and one of the last release tag from the same branch, and 
compare those.  In a generated reposurgeon Makefile setup:

   make gnuplot-{Release_5_0_7,branch-5-0-stable}-checkout
   diff -u gnuplot-{Release_5_0_7,branch-5-0-stable}-checkout/ChangeLog

Or one can look at a "cvs log ChangeLog" or the ChangeLog,v archive file 
itself, and check if there are revisions 1.{N}.2.{M} with N the same as 
that of the last release tag, and M bigger than that of the same tag.

The GNUPLOT_RELEASE_3_7_0 tag is genuine.
