[ANNOUNCE] quick note on the xfsprogs v4.14.0 tag

Hello dear XFS users:

tl;dr: everything is fine.  No action is needed.

Just a heads up that I had mis-tagged v4.14.0 in git when I did the
release; it was an inconsequential mistake - long story, but
checking out v4.14.0 /did/ get you the proper codebase, just
not the top commit on the master branch at the time of release.

So for posterity, I'm making it clear that I've moved the v4.14.0
tag to the proper commit.  There is no functional change, and
the tarballs at 
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/xfs/xfsprogs/
will remain unmodified.

the auto-generated snapshot tarball at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfsprogs-dev.git/snapshot/xfsprogs-dev-4.14.0.tar.gz
did get regenerated by the kernel.org infra, with an identical
resulting md5sum.

So when you do a git pull and see:

 * [new tag]         v4.14.0    -> v4.14.0

that's why.

Thanks,
-Eric

Actually, you'll probably want to do a git fetch --tags
to be sure to get the moved tag.

FWIW, it's also worth noting that branches checked out on the old
v4.14.0 tag will not fast-forward update when the master branch
moves forward as they are pointing to an orphaned commit off the
main history line. You'll probably need to run either:

	git reset --hard v4.14.0

or
	git reset --hard origin/master

to return your checked out branch(es) to the master branch and have
git pull/git fetch update it in sync with the upstream repository
again.

Cheers,

Dave.
