Emmanuel,
It would be helpful, if it is possible to give me small hint about the
operations each goal provides, while some of them are self explanatory,
given the fact that different providers has bit different naming and hence
confusing a bit :
- 'status' - what it does ?
- 'update' - what is does ?
- 'status' - ?
- 'tag' - ?
- 'unedit' - ?
- 'edit' - ?
Thanks, Jaikumar

A login action is important for scm connection but not as a maven goal.
Users prefer that the login
action is embedded in other goal, so it's transparent.

You can implement actions you want, missing actions won't be available in
maven.
release plugin requires checkout, commit, tag and status actions changelog
plugin require changelog action continuum require checkout, update and
changelog actions
other important actions are add, remove ant list actions that are used by
