That doesn't matter. We don't use the full RELEASE_URL for anything anymore. Ever since we moved to GitHub in late 2016, we only use the last path component of the RELEASE_URL ("v2.4.3" here) as the name of the tag to check out.

The problem is that, although we told the git clone to fetch new tags with "git fetch --tags", it didn't.

We should change the RELEASE_URL to be valid, of course, for the benefit of anyone wanting to click it.

Maybe we should remove the RELEASE_URL entirely, and just use the GitHub API to determine the latest tag.
