> When doing 'mvn release:prepare' with a Git provider, a 'git push' command is
> executed. This is not ideal because the push command can fail or push things
> from the local repository that are not needed/wanted in the remote
> repository. Some examples are:
> 1. The local repository has two branches: master (tracking origin/master) and
> dummy (tracking origin/dummy). The release is being made on the master
> branch, and the dummy and origin/dummy branches have diverged. Running
> 'release:prepare' causes a 'git push', which will succeed for the master
> branch (assuming that the release preparation has been made correctly) and
> fail for the dummy branch (the two branches have diverged and need to be
> merged or rebased). The release preparation aborts and the directory is left
> in a somewhat inconsistent state where manual cleaning up is needed (removing
> pom.xml.next files, changing versions to <new>-SNAPSHOT, etc.)
> 2. The local repository has two branches: master (tracking origin/master) and
> localtest (not in the origin repository). The localtest branch shouldn't be
> published because it is just used for some temporary testing and doesn't even
> work. It will be pushed during 'release:prepare'.
> Suggested behaviour: use 'git push origin <currentbranch>:<currentbranch>',
> or even better, query for which remote repository to push to (found in
> .git/config) and which branch to push from and to. For me, it would be great
> to have a 'confirm push' before doing it so as to keep things clean, but
> maybe that is quite complex.
