Very good question and simple to answer...

release-prepare - the release plugin will build and test your project then tag 
it.


release-perform -check out the code from the tag and build the artifact and 
test it and then deploy it


essentially a maven repository is just a cache of prebuilt tags, you can 
always rebuild an artifact by providing the tag path to release-perform


once you are in the habit of releasing and set up some aliases or batch files 
its painless,
