In this phase on the release branch, the poms Edgent versions are changed to the specified release version, a full build with all tests is run, and a commit is done with this state and tagged. After that the release branch poms Edgent versions are set to the first/next specified `major.minor.bugfix-SNAPSHOT` bugfix development version and this update is committed. The commits are automatically pushed.
-WARNING: at this moment the new edgent-deployment-filter-maven-plugin (EDGENT-440) is not yet released and the release:prepare below will fail with `There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.` To work around that for the moment, add `-DignoreSnapshots` to the `mvn release:prepare` below. I'm not sure but prior to doing the prepare you may need to build the plugin and install it in your maven cache (`cd utils/edgent-deployment-filter-maven-plugin; mvn install`).

Prepare the release branch:
git checkout release/1.2 # the branch from "Creating the Release Branch"
+ # see note below for -DignoreSnapshots=true
mvn release:prepare -DreleaseVersion=1.2.0 -Dtag=edgent-1.2.0 -DdevelopmentVersion=1.2.1-SNAPSHOT -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -P platform-android,platform-java7,distribution
git status # should report nothing ahead/behind. Do 'git push' if needed.
+NOTE: the new edgent-deployment-filter-maven-plugin (EDGENT-440) is not yet released and the release:prepare will fail with `There are still some remaining snapshot dependencies.` Add `-DignoreSnapshots=true` to the `mvn release:prepare` to workaround that. Build the plugin first if there seem to be other issues (`cd utils/edgent-deployment-filter-maven-plugin; mvn install`).

Now would be a good time to update the "[DISCUSS]" thread with the branch and tag info if you so choose.
If you need to restart because of error or the process is cancelled, then run the `release:prepare` again to pick up where it left off.

The `release:perform` stages some undesired artifacts. See EDGENT-440.

-What about the state of the metadata artifacts, do they reference those deleted items?
