I mentioned using this as a last resort but if you can let us know
the link to the repo we could take a look.

I have one that uses underscores in the tag - libxlswriter:

https://github.com/jmcnamara/libxlsxwriter/archive/RELEASE_1.0.2/libxlsxwriter-RELEASE_1.0.2.tar.gz

With that I use:

tar xvf $CWD/$PRGNAM-RELEASE_$VERSION.tar.gz

I should add that there are also files that are added manually by the
developer as `assets' in Github-speak, that are extra to the
automatic tag releases and can be named any way the developer likes.
