Well I changed the tag name to 'v2_0' and the error went away. I am using
GitHub site [1] to create the releases. You can poke around and see that
the name and tag are different values. So it was not the name that needed
to change only the tag. I am using Git v1.9.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 amd64.

I added 2 rockspecs [2] under "rockspec" and one is for v2.0 [3] and you
can change the `source.tag` to "v2.0" because it is still there in the repo
and see the same error. Does that help? Please check that I wrote this
correctly. It is my first one I am sure I messed something up ;)
