It is not possible to create a tag in dpdk.org/git/dpdk for stable releases,
because stable release is not snapshot of the dpdk repo.

For stable tree some sub-set of the patches are cherry-picked from dpdk.org,
also some patches are backported specially for stable releases. That is why
stable versions managed in another repository.

Not able to understand problem here, you can get stable versions from stable
tree repository.
