The instructions are probably unclear.
The intent was that you would M-x set-version, commit, tag, push.
It was just the HISTORY and ChangeLog file with the release notice that
would not be committed, in case the release date had to change.
It would not do any harm to commit those two files as well (ChangeLog is
no longer versioned, but those changes get committed as ChangeLog.3 or
whatever). It just creates a bit of churn if the release date ends up
changing, and obviously those files two don't affect the build in any
way, so personally I see no reason to commit them.

Testing from git is not the same as testing the release tarball, because
the tarball includes many generated files that certainly do affect the
build (configure, elc files, etc).

BTW, looks like none of the 26.2.x pretests (or RC) were tagged.
Since other changes have since been committed to emacs-26, but the
version number change wasn't, it's not really possible to tag the RC now.
