Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MRELEASE-721:
-------------------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> Release plugin should not operate on current SVN trunk/branch to create the
> tag
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-721
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-721
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sebb
> Priority: Major
>
> AIUI, the release plugin currently updates the trunk (or branch) working copy
> in order to create the RC tag.
> This is inherently unsafe, as the trunk loses its SNAPSHOT status for a short
> while.
> Also, if the RC fails, trunk has to be reset in order to start again.
> A better method would be to check out trunk into a new working copy, update
> that, and create the tag from the new WC.
> This has the added benefit of creating a clean working copy.
