add a flag to the release command that skips the accumulation of release folders in the master branch.  this is now an option for keeping less on disk if the master branch is checked out, but still keep an audit log moving forward over time which maintains explicit references to the release data.  it's expected that future mdm releases will move further in this direction and eventually make it the default behavior.
