Releases not being tagged in source (git) #378

Description

@r-chris

What's going on?
It is difficult to identify the released code version from looking at the git repository. It seems sensible to me to continue tagging the source repo as shown here: https://github.com/plotly/dash/releases

You can see there that a few releases have been tagged nicely in the past, but for majority of releases on https://pypi.org/project/dash/#history no such tags exist in the git repo.

Why is this relevant?
I can see a few use cases, where having the git tags would be very beneficial:

  1. It would be much easier for me to see the differences between releases if they were tagged in the git repository. I am aware that there is an actively maintained CHANGELOG for dash here: https://github.com/plotly/dash/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md but in mission critical deployments I rather have a look at the changes in the source.

  2. I could easily pull the correct source code into my build system directly from GitHub without having to go through pypi.

Thank you!
