+Tagging the LLVM Release Candidates

-Create release candidates for ``llvm``, ``clang``, ``dragonegg``, and the LLVM
-``test-suite`` by tagging the branch with the respective release candidate
-number.  For instance, to create **Release Candidate 1** you would issue the
-following commands:
+Tag release candidates using the tag.sh script in utils/release.

-Similarly, **Release Candidate 2** would be named ``RC2`` and so on.  This keeps
-a permanent copy of the release candidate around for people to export and build
-as they wish.  The final released sources will be tagged in the ``RELEASE_XYZ``
-directory as ``Final`` (c.f. :ref:`tag`).

 The Release Manager may supply pre-packaged source tarballs for users.  This can

+  $ ./export.sh -release X.Y.Z -rc $RC

+This will generate source tarballs for each LLVM project being validated, which
