Very good! In the past we've often had to add new commits to the release branch and create a new RC. The RCs have to be copied into the staging area (in an svn repo) and then when actually released there's a simple svn command to do that. Are you familiar with that process? For this reason it may be better to separate the creation of the release branch from everything else.
