Daniel Burrell created MRELEASE-1030:
----------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce flag to push once, not twice, during
release:prepare
Key: MRELEASE-1030
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1030
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.5.3
Reporter: Daniel Burrell
When performing release:prepare the following action is taken.
* solidify releases
* commit and push
* tag this commit
* push
* move to next snapshot
* commit and push
This behaviour in a git based CI environment results in additional unnecessary
builds as an I tagged commit is delivered, quickly followed by the same commit
in tagged form.
The commit and push that happens in stage 2 above should be commit only.
the push should be a push of the tag (which implicitly pushes the commit).
To maintain backward compatibility this should be a flag.
I have not read the source code but I suspect this issues is caused by generic
usage of / delegation to the scm plugin, without consideration of the nuances
of git. The scm plugin does indeed have a flag for this purpose but we are not
making use of it or exposing it at the release plugin level
