I think this would be no good idea. One of the prerequisites for a project to
be released is that there is NO change between your current work and the branch
your currently on ('trunk' also counts as a branch for this). The
ScmCheckForModificationsPhase calls a scm:status and looks for changed files.
Automatically updating first would mean that you may get changes from another
checkin, which are merged into your own source silently! So you do a release
and CANNOT BE SURE that it really has the contentyou thought of.
