Because when you use the neon transport for a http or a https based repository, there is a bug in neon that prevents tagging from the working copy unless the working copy is at the head revision. You could do any of the following: 1. Switch to using the dav_serf for your http or https repository (This is reported to work but I have not had an oportunity to test it) 2. Use a script something like this mvn release:prepare release:perform $* svn update mvn release:prepare release:perform $* You can make the script all fancy checking return values and searching the release.properties file for one of the two phases where it breaks (scm-tag and another phase which I do not have to hand) I'll post my unix and windows scripts for running a release when I get into work tomorrow. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org > >
