Jesse Glick commented on MRELEASE-457: -------------------------------------- Note: Mercurial does not (yet) support sparse checkouts, but you can use {{hg archive --include <MODULE> target/checkout}}, akin to using e.g. {{svn export}}. > Non sparse-checkout SCM support > ------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-457 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-457 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: perform, scm > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Mark Struberg > Assignee: Mark Struberg > Fix For: 2.1 > > Attachments: MRELEASE-457.2.patch, MRELEASE-457.patch > > > Some SCMs like GIT, Mercurial, Bazaar, BitKeeper, Darcs, and Monotone doesn't > support sparse checkouts (checkout of a single subdirectory). > So while doing a mvn release:perform in a sub-module, we will always get the > _whole_ project checked out into target/checkout! > For doing the clean build from this checkout, we have to implement a > functionality to find the right submodule first. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
