The instructions at [1] in the section "Change the version ID" talk about removing -SNAPSHOT form the version in the tags for RCs; is there any reason why I shouldn't do the substitution in the branch and have all versions substituted from 2.0-SNAPSHOT as 2.0-M5 early on. It would save repeating the exercise for potentially multiple RC tags.
It also talks. in the section "Create the branch" about updating the trunk version number immediately after creating the branch, is that a mistake or is it covering the scenario where, once the branch has been cut we might be bumping the trunk's version to 2.1-SNAPSHOT? -- my guess is that as this is a milstone release this instruction is a bit misleading.
