This command failed on me:
mvn release:prepare -DpreparationGoals="clean install"
-DautoVersionSubmodules=true
I worked past the error and ran the command again, but it failed because it
couldn't create the tag because the tag already exists. Somehow it created
the tag. So, I tried deleting the tag, but now I'm getting:
[mrg@odin 14:15:58] ~/Projects/cayenne master> git push origin
:cayenne-parent-5.0-M2
ERROR: Permission to apache/cayenne.git denied to mrg.
Same error when I use:
git push --delete origin cayenne-parent-5.0-M2
Any suggestions? Or does someone else have a smoother path to take over?
Thanks,
mrg
PS. The tag got created when I had used HTTPS as the clone method. I
couldn't delete the tag that way, either (GitHub doesn't support user/pass
credentials), so I deleted the repo and checked out using SSH, which is
when I get the permissions error.
