[PATCH] setlocalversion: make tag local to try_tag()

From: Yuntao Wang

Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 05:50:37 EST


The tag variable is only used by try_tag(), but is currently declared
local to scm_version() and modified by try_tag().

Make tag local to try_tag() instead and remove the unused declaration
from scm_version().

No functional changes.
