So what is the extact work flow? 1. Run release:stage with a version like myproject-0.9-RC1 2. When problems are found, rollback, fix the problem and run release:stage again, incrementing RC2, 3, etc.... 3. When no more problems are found with the RC, perform a rollback and then a release:perform using the actual release version. (in this case myproject-0.9)
