I suspect you're using cvs-import.sh to import SRPMs built in mock (or
at least with the disttag expanded). That will bring the tag with it,
even if you import it into a different branch.

Possible ways to avoid this problem:
1. Use cvs-import.sh only to bring in new packages, not to update
existing ones.
2. Import SRPMs built outside of mock with no dist tag extension.

To fix your current situation.
Edit the spec file, increase the Release: tag, add/edit a changelog
entry, then "cvs commit" it. You should then be able to do a "make tag".
Repeat for all "later" distribution versions to ensure that they have
"later" release numbers.
