On release:perform (after a successful release:prepare), two curious things 
happen with my multi-module project:

*        Every tag and branch and trunk item gets downloaded to my machine. 
Thus it takes a while. All I want is for the tag I just created to get released.

*        After everything is downloaded, a file called checkout is created in  
C:\myproject\parent\target, and this is the working directory. However, the 
release fails with this message, "[INFO] [INFO] Cannot execute mojo: clean. It 
requires a project with an existing pom.xml, but the build is not using one." 
That's true of course because there is no pom in the target directory, but 
there can't be. The parent pom is in 
C:\myproject\parent\target\checkout\trunk\parent.

How can I get release:perform to work faster and work with the structure I have 
described?

Thanks.
