Using the subfolder /releases/ i have no objection to.

But the whole renaming from 0.22-RC to 0.22 i don't see any point.
Both are not going to exist at the same time so for the purpose of the
repository there's no need to distinguish, it's just another job (albeit
shorter than writing this email - but developers can be confused when
the branch they are working on "disappears"!).
Making the distinguish that the branch is now a final release (although
i don't believe any such thing truly ever exists for any version) is a
job for the website, wiki, and|or download page.
