Shorter version: if you have a cloned git repo, git tag -d openafs-devel-1_7_18

When we do a release the tag is supposed to be applied to the relevant
point on the branch the release is done
from; The master branch, not being used for releases, is not being
tagged. Unfortunately, the 1.7.18 tag was applied
to the master, not the 1.7 branch. This would mean that the tools
which attempt to describe a checkout would describe
future builds from master as descendents of 1.7.18, which is not
desirable. To that end we removed the tag upstream,
and would request that you do the same. A 1.7.18a tag describing the
same code will be pushed momentarily; A
new set of binaries will not be done.
