Normally, all SCM tools tag recursively but it won't work in some case.
With subversion (it can be the same for cvs and others), some users use a
flat layout on their own machine but not in the SCM. for exemple with svn:
in svn:
```
ROOT/
module1/
branches/
tags/
trunk/
pom.xml
module2/
branches/
tags/
trunk/
pom.xml
```
and in working copy:
```
ROOT/
module1/
pom.xml
module2/
pom.xml
```
With this structure, some users will want a global tag under ROOT/tags/ and
some others will want one tag by module under /ROOT/moduleX/tags/
> scm:tag should support flat project layout

> Key: SCM-342
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-342
> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-plugin
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Windows XP, Eclipse 3.3
> Reporter: Duncan Doyle
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: flatProjectTagPatch.txt
>
>
> I have a Maven2 Flat Project Layout as described here:
> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-ide-eclipse.html
> Basically my directory layout is as follows:
> /MavenRoot/pom.xml (this is the SuperPom)
> /Module1/pom.xml
> /Module2/pom.xml
> /Module3/pom.xml
> Modules 1,2 and 3 are specified in the <modules> section of the SuperPom
> (e.g() <module>../Module1</module>). Each POM contains its own CVS connection
> URL.
> When I execute the scm:tag goal on the SuperPom in the MavenRoot project,
> only the MavenRoot project gets tagged. The same behaviour can be seen with
> the scm:update goal, which was fixed by providing a scm:update-subprojects
> goal.
> I would like to see this behaviour fixed in the SCM plugin, while Maven2
> advices a Flat Project Layout when working with Eclipse. At this moment I
> can't use the tag goal at all (it should be executed automatically by
> CruiseControl on a succesfull build).
