Description

The do-release scripts seem to be built to support resuming a partial release from a "stage". I found that resuming a release at the "publish-dist" stage fails due to missing CHANGES.md and RELEASENOTES.md. The script appears to assume the files are present in the output directory, which won't be the case if the output directory is cleaned after the previous failed attempt. These files are populated via the "tag" stage.
