Maybe I've figured this out: the doc is asking me to manually make an
commons-io-2.5-RCx tag, and then telling me to run release:prepare,
which will also make a commons-io-2.5 tag. So the RCx tag serves as a
permanent record of the RC, and the plain tag becomes 'the tag' if the
vote passes.

Do I have this straight?
