The contents of `.auroraversion` is not entirely straightforward. On master,
it is always `.${NEXT_REL}-SNAPSHOT`, and only releases or release candidate
trees omit the `-SNAPSHOT`.
As for the branch, i was on the fence about creating a branch. The reason i
went with one was to avoid leaving the user with a modified release candidate
branch that they might accidentally push. Thinking more about this, it
probably also makes sense to apply this change to RC generation/tagging as well.
So - does the above clear things up? If so, what do you think about the
proposal above?
