If you don't do it, you risk that other people are tainting it by
commiting changes in the time between your upload and the tagging. Those
would be needed to be reverted and re-applied afterwards, kind of
useless work, no?

If you release and tag it in svn first, you lock a specific version and
let other people to continue on the next version.

I can not know that as the upload was not communicated (which would not
be necessary if you tag it first and then upload it).
