Hi David Great to get some feedback on the docs. I think we have "prepare", "perform" and "branch" covered pretty well with these pages:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/prepare-release.html http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html So I guess we'd need two more covering "rollback" and "clean".
