 ] 

Carsten Behring commented on MRELEASE-654:
------------------------------------------

As a workaround, I get a different behavior when I copy a pom.xml into the 
current directory.
So it seems that maven does something with the "current project" (= project in 
current directory),

instead of only working on the "checked out" sources in target/checkout.
