+1 Laird, that is for sure the best thing. I guess we need to clean up a few things in this area.
An attempt for a small historical summary: * <tag> was useful in CVS (not in all operations but in most) * <tag> is almost useless in SVN as you get a different directory for branches and tags * due to SVN being the dominating SCM for most of the last decade, we didn't take much care about <tag> * <tag> is useful again for a lot of the newer DSCMs which handle tags and branches more like CVS than SVN. and now we need to clean up the mess ;) I personally think it will not be that hard to do. strub ----- Original Message ----- > From: Laird Nelson <[email protected]> > To: Maven Users List <[email protected]> > Cc: > Sent: Friday, September 28, 2012 4:47 PM > Subject: Re: What does the "tag" parameter for release:branch do? > > On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 12:34 AM, Anders Lindgren < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> I would guess that it is used by SCM's like CVS which takes an existing >> tag as base for a new branch. >> The explanation could be better as many of the other parameters >> describes SVN specific usage. >> > > Thanks; I guess I'll just go dig through the source. > > Best, > Laird > > -- > http://about.me/lairdnelson > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
