Michael Osipov commented on SCM-970:
------------------------------------
Yet another question is: Do we want to maintain, thus rewrite the Mercurial
provider?
> Have separate APIs for distributed and centralized version control
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SCM-970
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-970
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> The nature of these 2 types are very different. The original scm api was
> based on centralized repositories, and the distributed was implemented behind
> those methods, which makes it more complex than required.
> Splitting this will make it easier to make full use of distributed features.
> Keep in mind that plugins like the maven-release-plugin must still be able to
> do their work, but they may need to provide implementations for both tastes
> (unless the original scm-api implements it).
