Based on (1) below, it looks like inclusion of an scm plugin was hoped for in m2, and based on (2), it "exists". I notice that the release/reporting plugins depend on scm infrastructure, and this appears to reside at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/scm/, however there is no binary for the plugin itself at ibiblio. I'm wondering if the absence at ibiblio is an oversight, or whether it indicates that the plugin is unstable. If the latter, will it be part of the m2 release?
Also, does the fact that the 'scm' area of svn sits at the same level as 'components' and 'maven1' suggest that it's shared infrastructure, perhaps implying that the functionality is well-proven and hence stable? Thanks, Jason. (1) http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-116 (2) http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Maven+Plugin+Matrix
