Here's the visual ... my jaw in totally on the floor.  It never occurred to me 
that something named 'release candidate' would be an 'official' release.  So, 
this explains why I spent a good two weeks trying to get 0.8.1 to work, 
couldn't get it working, and ended up backing out all of my stuff and going 
back to 0.8 because I knew how to get that version working.  I had absolutely 
no idea that 0.8.1-rc1 was the REAL release of 0.8.1.  The release was called 
'0.8.1' so I checked everything out from the 0.8.1 tag.  

I would hate for someone to make the same mistake I did. I get that svn tags 
are separate from maven version numbers. But, being consistent with things like 
this is rarely a 'bad' thing to do, and often times, it really helps. 
Especially for new people who are not familiar with the system and just trying 
to understand it.  If I could make a recommendation to the next RM it would be 
to do something like:

Make a 1.0-rc1 - does everyone like it? No
Make a 1.0-rc2 - does everyone like it? No
Make a 1.0-rc3 - does everyone like it? Yes
Make a 1.0  (this is just a copy of 1.0-rc3, but it is absolutely clear what 
release it really is)

This would address the desire to save a history of all the release candidates 
(not sure why you need that, but ok), and provide the user with a release that 
is clearly not a 'candidate' for release, but something that has actually 
'been' released.

Nonetheless, Thanks for letting me know.  I will never again assume that the 
svn tag matches the release name.  How silly of me!
