#   Create a new tag for a release of edx-ora2 and
#   push it to the remote.
#
#   Release tags have a uniform naming scheme that includes
#   the current date.
#
#   Usage:
#
#       ./release.sh COMMIT
#
#   If no commit is specified, use origin/master.
#
#   Examples:
#
#       Create a release tag for origin/master:
#       ./release.sh
#
#       Create a release tag for a specific commit:
#       ./release.sh f921f3ee4bc07edf2f1b492f94350cb1dd844100
#
#       Create a release tag without user input:
#       yes | ./release.sh
