We only need to re-do all the release steps if the commit of the RC is problematic (e.g. fails the tests). Otherwise, it's OK to push the RC git tag first. When running the release script, it's possible that one step fails with some transient error like a network issue, and it's really a waste of time to re-run all the steps. The script provides the `-s` option to only run a single step, which can save a lot of time if only one step fails. I had to revert this commit when I was helping @rxin to cut the RC, as I hit transient errors quite a bit. I think it's very uncommon that we cut the RC tag with a wrong commit, but if it happens, I think it's OK to start the next RC immediately. Shall we revert it? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
