warning about new version may be premature

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1.2.2 introduced a new feature: feedvalidator fetches the list of svn tags 
and tells the user to download the newer version if a tag exists. The 
problem is TransitFeedReleaseProcess says you should create the tag first. 
Depending on how long the release takes there is a window of a few minutes 
to days when the warning could be output but nothing is actually available 
on the homepage.

Options:

  * Do most of the release work at a specific svn revision, then make the 
tag after the new binary and tar.gz are uploaded. Having the tag is nice 
because I don't need to worry about setting the -r param.
  * Use a branch for the release then tag when done. In most cases each 
branch will have a single version
  * Modify the code to look for files on the homepage or some such thing.

I think I'll try using a branch for the next release and will then close 
this issue.

using a branch seemed to work. I updated the release instructions in the wiki.
