Darryl L. Miles created MRELEASE-807: ----------------------------------------
Summary: Git pushes tag ambigiously Key: MRELEASE-807 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-807 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: Git, scm Affects Versions: 2.3.2 Reporter: Darryl L. Miles Priority: Minor When the "git push" is run to push the new tag to the repo is uses the ambigious form of just "root-0.0.1" where ${project.artifactId}=root and ${project.version}=0.0.1 Like this is BAD form: ssh push ssh://g...@git.domain.com/foobar.git root-0.0.1 This is GOOD form: ssh push ssh://g...@git.domain.com/foobar.git refs/tags/root-0.0.1 To test this problem out simple create a new branch with the same name as the tag you are about to use. git branch root-0.0.1 git push origin root-0.0.1 git branch -av Now use the maven-release-plugin to try to make a git tag called 'root-0.0.1'. So it is correct to prefix the tags you push with the "refs/tags/" to that the repository know you are sending up a tag. This is never ambiguous. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
