URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/5704
## I'm submitting a ...
- bug report
## Traffic Control components affected ...
None
## Current behavior:
If the `release.pl` script fails to edit the VERSION file, it will plow
ahead anyway. Or, presumably, if any step fails it will continue to do things,
possibly incorrectly.
## Expected behavior:
If part of the process of creating a release (or candidate) fails, the
script should exit immediately, printing what went wrong (ideally to stderr)
and use a non-zero exit code.
## Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
I think if you try to create an existing release it won't have any negative
side effects. So checkout e.g. the RELEASE-5.0.0-RC1 tag and do
`./misc/release.pl --gpg-key={{some key}} --release-no=RELEASE-5.0.0-RC1 cut`.
## Anything else:
You can see it happening in the script's output:
```
Failed to run:git commit -m 'RELEASE: Syncing VERSION file' VERSION
Updating 'VERSION' file
Everything up-to-date
Signing new tag based upon your gpg key
```
