ant release should not continue automatically if svn commit fails
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-5461
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5461
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build tools
            Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren
            Priority: Minor


On my windows system, ant release results in a release.properties file with 
inconsistent line endings. While that may be a problem in itself, what's a 
bigger issue is that the build process attempts to issue svn commit, and when 
that fails, goes on merrily, resulting in a build with a revision number with 
'M' because the tree isn't clean.

There could be other issues resulting in a failed svn commit.
This could be improved if the build process would halt on failure and e.g. 
prompt for 'a(bort) /c(continue)'. This pause would give the release manager a 
chance to evaluate in another window/shell what's wrong with svn commit and 
possibly resolve manually (including manual svn commit) and continue, or start 
over.
