Tagging Shadow releases

We use Semantic Versioning, and increment version numbers with the bumpversion tool.

The following commands can be used to tag a new version of Shadow, after which an archive will be available on github's releases page.

git checkout master

# Bump the patch, minor, or major version number, commit the change, and tag
# that commit.
bumpversion <patch|minor|major> --tag --commit

# Get the new version number.
VERSION=`awk -F "=" '/current_version/ {print $2}' .bumpversion.cfg | tr -d ' '`

# Push to GitHub.
git push origin v$VERSION

Our releases will then be tagged off of the master branch.
