Description

Some issues were found when building an rc2 for 3.1.0:

• Typo in "Comitting Site Changes"
• Because of the set -e, if a command ever exits with a non-zero exit code, the release candidate script just stops, and it's not obvious there was a failure. We should trap ERR and print out a message to make it clear things failed and what steps to take
• When the script commits site changes, it's possible for no changes to exist (this is likely in an rc2 since all documentation has already been committed during rc1). When this happens, the git commit command exists with a non-zero exit code and stop processing
• The script says to "Delete" staged files at repository.apache.org, but "Drop" is the correct terminology
