Branch fails with error message -------------------------------- Key: MRELEASE-579 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-579 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: branch Affects Versions: 2.0 Environment: Mac OS X 10.6, git version 1.7.1 Reporter: Tommy Odom
When attempting to run release:branch from my master branch I get an error message that the git commit failed. It appears that when I run mvn release:branch from my master branch that when it tries to execute the commit after "modifying" the POMs that it fails because none of the POMs were actually modified initially (nothing to change for git to create the branch). Since the initial commit for preparing the branch fails no branch is created and the POMs in the master branch are not modified for the new development version. Output: [INFO] Transforming 'Focal'...
