Releasing a fixed module (rather than a complete release)

I need to release a bug fix. As the full release is not ready we are going to tr releasing just the necessary components. In this case it is the runtime module, and we should release a new release pom to provide the dependency.

Here's what I did:-

1. Created a branch for the fixes to made in
2. Check out the new branch - by using the not recursive flag (-N) I avoided having to check out the whole tree
3. Made the changes - fixed the problem and updated the version in the POM
4. Changed the version referenced in the release POM and updated its version as well
5. Checked it by referring to the new version of the release module.
6. Committed the changes
7. Created a tag
8. deployed the changed modules (mvn deploy)
