Thanks for the sample.  I like it, though I'd argue about the content.
For instance, you list approvals after review when in fact, some
people might argue that some approvals need to be started before the
code is finalized for review.  Also, several bug database updates are
missing.

Perhaps I should enhanced the present set of steps on this page to
contain a few key shell commands and references to appropriate tools:

Then provide a condensed version of those steps?
