Martin Todorov commented on MRELEASE-572:
-----------------------------------------
I don't think this task should be closed. @Jens Beyer: Could you check if the
issue can still be reproduced? If it still re-occurs, let's re-open this task.
> release:prepare does not check for existing tag and updates the tag in a
> wrong way
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-572
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-572
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9
> Reporter: Jens Beyer
>
> If the targetted release tag already exists (like accidentally re-releasing a
> version), release:prepare does not complain about already existing tag, and
> updates the tag in a wrong way.
> Example: I call mvn release:prepare on my-project-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT. The tag
> my-project-1.0.0 already exists.
> Expected result: mvn fails with the error "version tag my-project-1.0.0
> already exists in SCM"
> Current result: my-project-1.0.0 tag (!) is updated, with a new subdirectory
> called 'my-project', below that is the expected result of the re-release; the
> old data of the tag is still present.
> I'd rather never update a tag (hence I'd like it to fail). That's why I
> tagged it.
