Jesko Jochum commented on MRELEASE-933:
---------------------------------------
thanks for the quick response. apparently it is just a matter of changing the
superclass of PerformReleaseMojo.
it definitely works in version 2.3.2.
i will see whether i can fix this myself and contribute a patch to the project.
> maven-release-plugin:perform from a tag is broken for Git in version 2.5.3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-933
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-933
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Eric Leventhal Arthen
> Priority: Major
>
> We are also blocked from using {{maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform}} for Git
> releases because it no longer passes in the tag name so the "git clone" fails.
> This worked correctly in {{maven-release-plugin:2.3.2:perform}}, with that
> version we got a command like this:
> {noformat}
> git clone --branch my-base-1.4.6 git@bithub:abcde/fghij.git
> /home/buildacct/work/5f89075470257ef1/base/target/checkout
> {noformat}
> (Note that the name here is (correctly) a tag name created by
> release:prepare, even though it is passed to --branch.)
> With {{maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform}} it does not include the actual tag
> name after "--branch" so the command fails.
> {noformat}
> git clone --branch g...@bithub.brightcove.com:abcde/fghij.git
> /home/buildacct/work/7483cd6cc5ce81ea/target/checkout
> [ERROR] The git-clone command failed.
> {noformat}
> We have to downgrade to the older maven-release-plugin, 2.3.2. From the
> ticket below this also worked in 2.2.1. I have not tried other versions.
> Found a description of this problem in SCM-729 in a comment in Feb 2015, but
> are creating this ticket because the issue is a recently introduced bug and
> that ticket is a feature request for a different component.
