Branch and tag name collision for 2.20.3

Description

Hello, I noticed that there is a collision between the 2.20.3 branch, and the 2.20.3 release tag in Github. Is this expected? It is definitely not a good git practice.

For example it’s causing

to clone the branch head instead of the tag which has the commit that sets the non-snapshot version ( ).

As this is a dev repo maintenance problem I am not assigning it a fixed-for date.

Marking as resolved; but if we get a 2.20.4 branch and 2.20.4 tag created we will need to trouble shoot build scripts.

That is not intensional, probably arguing with build scripts.

I have removed the branch after confirming it pointed to the exact same commit as the 2.20.3 tag.

Normally if someone is going to work on an emergency patch they would create a 2.20.3.x branch from the 2.20.3 tag; cherry-pick the fixes needed in, and make a 2.20.3-1 tag.
