Hi John, Brian Just to make sure I did understand that correctly: you propose to use a special URL prefix to tell the maven DefaultProjectBuilder to treat those urls as static. An example:
<scm> <developerConnection>staticscm:git:ssh://myserver:/..</developerConnection resulting in replacing 'staticscm' with 'scm' and not adding the child modules to the URL. Did I get this correctly? Tried that with mvn-3.0.3 and mvn-2.2.1 and a standard build works just fine. Of course a release would only work with the newer maven versions!
