Here's something that happens to me frequently.

Goal: make a local release off the trunk of some FOSS thing that will
be a while releasing a fix that I need.

Typical set of activities:

1: git svn clone
2:  branch
3: edit poms, change version, scm paths, deploymentRepository
4: run release plugin

#3 is rather a fiddly, error prone process.

If, on top of this, I also want to make local changes and push them
back, it's fiddly to sort out the purely local pom changes.

All of this suggests two possible lines of country:

1) more fun in the version plugin to deal with scm and deployment.

2) some sort of a way to 'shadow' a POM with local changes instead of
editing them in.

Opinions?
