The tag texinfo-7.0 is a fixed tag, which is at the base of the release/7.0 branch. As more commits are made to release/7.0, the release/7.0 branch will move ahead, leaving texinfo-7.0 behind. At some point soon, there will be a texinfo-7.0.1 release, which will occur on the release/7.0 branch. If there are more bug-fixes/translation updates/other minor or harmless updates, these may also be made on the release/7.0 branch, tagged in fixed positions as texinfo-7.0.2, texinfo-7.0.3, etc., along the branch.
