Description:
The start-release command was failing intermittently in CI due to:

  • Transient SVN network failures when cloning dist.apache.org
  • RC lookup failing when release candidates are removed after a release is finalized

Changes:

  • Add retry logic (3 attempts) for SVN checkout
  • Skip SVN clone in dry-run mode and use placeholder RCs

Looks good! There is a small nit related to the retry loop
