I looked at net/trunk. I would prefer that the release notes be generated during mvn release:prepare instead of requiring a manual mvn invocation to create the release notes and then a commit. I have that working for the binary distribution but I don't want to do it for the source distribution since they shouldn't be included if they aren't in svn and, in my view, they shouldn't be in svn because they will generally be out of sync with changes.xml in trunk.
