Not an issue, but I've noticed that doing it this way the pom.xml<scm>
element has -RC-1 in it. I normally do not use -RC-1 when I use the
maven-release-plugin and the tag is exactly what's there in<scm>.
(Indeed, I am not even sure on what's the reason we do it this way. Another
option is not to use "RC-1", if a vote is not successful the tag can be
deleted. Tagging with "RC-1" allows to have two or more release candidates
at the same time, for the same project. Is this the reason?)
Pros and cons. It depends if you want to keep more than one RC about
for comparison. I think I copied another project's process when we
started releases.
When we re-org svn the tags will be invalid anyway.
