Thanks Tom. I think the top level LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt, and README.txt and other site docs aren't in any of the SVN tag for any 0.23/2.X releases. I was following direction at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToReleasePostMavenization and it says to copy them from hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/*.txt and other files into the tar balls after creating the tag.
Do you think we should change that procedure?
