SebbASF created MRELEASE-721:
--------------------------------
Summary: Release plugin should not operate on current SVN
tunk/branch to create the tag
Key: MRELEASE-721
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-721
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: SebbASF
AIUI, the release plugin currently updates the trunk (or branch) working copy
in order to create the RC tag.
This is inherently unsafe, as the trunk loses its SNAPSHOT status for a short
while.
Also, if the RC fails, trunk has to be reset in order to start again.
A better method would be to check out trunk into a new working copy, update
that, and create the tag from the new WC.
This has the added benefit of creating a clean working copy.
