+It appears that Maven will do its work without updating the local working

still said I had changes to commit.

+## Canceling an RC
+
+To cancel an RC and generate a new RC, you have to revert certain changes that
Maven made to the release branch. I have not tried the Maven Release Plugin's
rollback capability because the documentation implies it would only work before
you use the "perform" step.
+
+If the plan is to accept some changes to the release branch and create a new
RC, run "git checkout <release-branch>" to switch to the release branch and do
a "git pull --rebase" to sync it up. Then look at the log via "git log". You
should see some log entries. One should say:
+
+`[maven-release-plugin] prepare for next development iteration`
+
+Another should be:
+
+`[maven-release-plugin] prepare release org.apache.royale.<repo>-<release
version>-rc<RC#>`
+
+In the royale-asjs and royale-typedefs branches there may be a third:
+
+`remove SNAPSHOT from compiler-build-tools versions`
+
+Revert these entries via "git revert <hash of commit>"
+
+Do the above for all 3 repos. Then you can accept the changes to the release
branch and run the "maven" step again. Note that you should not merge the
develop branch into the release branch because Maven has already updated the
develop branch to the next release version.
