I don't think we have corrupted files in the repo; jenkins would complain. One failure I got was in jclouds-labs detecting the digitalocean2 folder as deleted and modified, and in another build the same happened in karaf/commands (this time labs suceeded). It seems to appear at random due to some git weirdness in the local checkout.
I haven't been able to consistently reproduce the issue so I can't say where the problem is/was. For anyone interested in testing the release script, you can find it here [1] (it has been created in OSX so it might need some fixes to make it 100% linux friendly). Take care to comment out the "mvn deploy" and the "git push" steps at the end of the script to avoid uploading the artifacts to a staging repo and to avoid pushing a new RC. I.

Many thanks for getting the RC out - trying to verify it now ;-) Regards ap
