I tried adding "*commitByProject<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#commitByProject>" and that got me a bit further.
I can see it commit properly, but the push step is failing because it's trying to push a repo that hasn't had any changes in it yet. For instance, during the release prepare step, the build is started in the "aggregate" directory and a pom in ../jar is altered. But the push is trying to push the "aggregate" repository, NOT the "jar" repository.
