Just to clarify, I reached this conclusion after seeing: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_procedure?action=diff&rev1=66&rev2=67
It occurred to me that we're attempting to release without documenting what we're doing first. The documentation above is incomplete. Our official release procedure is still based in Subversion commands. I think we need to pin this down officially before proceeding.
