Ability to perform releases with unsupported SCMs
-------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MPRELEASE-23
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPRELEASE-23
             Project: maven-release-plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Trygve Laugstol


The current functionality of the release plugin is very useful, but requires 
that you use a supported SCM. It should be possible to change this requirement 
in (at least) two ways:

o When doing the release process, pause and wait for the user to manually 
perform the steps that maven-scm normally would do, or

o Break up the current monolitic goals into smaller parts so that the user can 
call them manually and to SCM operations in the background. I think this would 
be my approach, as there are several features of the release plugin that are 
useful outside of a release procedure context, the pom re-writing is the first 
that comes to mind.
