Link to build with example of bug: [Travis CI - Test and Deploy with Confidence](https://app.travis-ci.com/github/opentargets/platform-api/jobs/612780169#L394)

In the documentation, the TRAVIS\_BRANCH environment variable should be equal to the TRAVIS\_TAG when the build is triggered by a tag:

> for builds triggered by a tag, this is the same as the name of the tag (`TRAVIS_TAG` )

Link to documentation section: [Environment Variables - Travis CI](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/environment-variables/#default-environment-variables)

In the build linked above, the two variable are different, despite the build being triggered by a tag. Builds that we ran last week did not exhibit this behaviour.

Many thanks!
