I have tons of experience with the release plugin at work, with git and with svn. And it's the reason I avoid it as it has cost me a lot of time in the past. Some of my problems are probably really just "my" problems. I've got a pretty flaky and slow network upstream and it has happened more than once that "deploy" of one file failed and I had to roll back the whole release process, drop the staging repo and so on. By now I create an upload bundle manually (not really manually, but not using Maven) and upload a single file. And the whole process of tagging and creating archives is separated from that. So my main beef is the release plugin is doing a lot of things and if a single one of them fails I have to perform quite a bit of manual cleanup and then must start over again. My "manual approach" is a lot more forgiving. > 2.) Has anyone already attempted to use the release plugin with git? In my experience the release plugin works as well or bad with git as it does with svn.
