Mike Dillon commented on SCM-494:
---------------------------------
It there anything I can do to help expedite this ticket? I've provided a patch
already, but please let me know if there is something else I can do that will
get this patch applied. If there is a problem with the approach I've suggested,
let's discuss so we can get the right solution implemented and released.
> Let providers indicate whether a commit is required before a tag

> Key: SCM-494
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-494
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-scm-api
> Reporter: Mike Dillon
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: requiresCommitBeforeTag.diff

>
> As part of looking into creating a patch for MRELEASE-477, I realized that
> SCM providers would need to indicate whether they are able to create a "tag"
> directly from a modified working copy. Subversion can do this, but not all
> providers can. I'm providing a patch that adds a requiresCommitBeforeTag()
> method to ScmProvider, similar to the requiresEditMode() method. It looks
> like there is a request for a general "capabilities" API in SCM-23; this
> would fit into such an API if it existed, but that issue doesn't have a patch
> attached :)
> I haven't provided a test of this since it's only a flag that is not used
> inside maven-scm (I'm planning to provide a patch for maven-release to use it
> there). I could see it being used in scm:tag to allow a generic check for a
> dirty working copy in a local-to-remote tag operation, but it seems like
> these things are better handled by the provider themselves.
