+ <question>Why is release:prepare failing when trying to tag with "svn:
Path '...' does not exist in revision ..."</question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>If the pom.xml has no scm-section but inherits one from its parent,
the prepare will fail when trying to tag.
+ The message will be something like:</p>
+ <pre>svn: Path '...' does not exist in revision ...</pre>
+ <p>To fix it, roll-back the release, add the <code>scm</code> section
to the pom.xml, commit and retry the release.</p>
