Yes, so modify another version of trunk and commit from there upon 
successful build of artifacts, followed by a copy back to your working 
trunk. This issue really only comes up in non-distributed SCM's (CVS, SVN 
etc.) and because snapshotting/versioning filesystems (ZFS, BTRFS etc.) 
aren't commonplace yet. Regardless of how this is achieved however, that is 
an implementation detail; I just pointed out a weakness in the usability of 
Maven and why the learning curve is steeper than it could've been.
