> Key: SCM-442
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-442
> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Petter Måhlén
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Priority: Major

> We have a parent corporate POM that is not in the parent folder of each
> project. When running release:perform, the correct (as specified) GIT SCM URL
> is not used, but instead a URL is created by appending the Maven artifact
> name to the SCM URL of the parent corporate POM project. Which doesn't make
> sense at all to me:
> 1. There is no requirement (and in fact bad practice in a lot of cases) that
> the POM hierarchy should map exactly to the folder hierarchy. So a parent POM
> doesn't have to reside in a parent directory.
> 2. There is no requirement (but maybe good practice) to have folder names in
> SCM be the same as the artifact names. In our case, we have a bad artifact
> name that we want to keep so as not to have to modify a lot of POMs, but we
> wanted a clearer repository name for the new Git repository.
> This is the error message from the 'mvn release:perform' command.

> The SCM configuration from the 'slg_client' pom.xml is;

> <connection>scm:git:git://git.shopzilla.com/site/client/sponsoredlinks-client</connection>
> </scm>
> The workaround that I have found is to manually edit the release.properties
> file and change to using the correct SCM URL.
