Fred Cooke commented on MRELEASE-777: ------------------------------------- My solution to this using variables wouldn't help you, however is likely correct from a historical point of view for most and would be a fraction faster than the hard-link clone. The trouble with your repo is that the hard links apply to the git objects, not the checked out tree, so merely creating a second copy is not acceptable for you, no matter how it's done. I've never understood why it's deemed necessary to create a second copy anyway. The system already checks to ensure that the original copy is clean before proceeding, why not just use it? +1 for an option to not do anything at all and just build in place. > release plugin shouldn't git clone if the SCM is git > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-777 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-777 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: Linux x86_64, maven 2.2.1 > Reporter: Joel Orlina > Assignee: Mark Struberg > > See here for original issue: > https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MVNCENTRAL-202 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
