Looking at the next stage of the release process, it is either to rollback or to promote. It doesn't look like there is anything that needs doing in SVN if we promote the staged artifacts which makes me think they should right now be at 0.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT. However, if we need to go down the rollback route for some reason then the instructions [1] for rollback suggest what's in SVN should stay as it is. Anyone wish to comment?
