Task(s) for releases

[jzaefferer]

I'm considering adopting grunt for a few projects. Something I'd be using is a release task, that would, for example, use git-changelog (from git-extras) to update a History.md and to tag and push the actual release (that's what I do for QUnit).

For my validation plugin, there's a bit more going on, currently implemented in Ant: https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation/blob/master/build.xml - copies files to a dist dir, replaces @Version, minifies, then zips the package, which I then upload as the release.

Mine would be tailored around git, not sure if it should be abstract enough to work with other VCS'.

If there are plans or ideas for this, please post them here.

Closing this, will open a zip-task issue, as that is a lot more interesting.
