Hi! Git and a few other SCMs are able to use 2 different URLs for reading from a server and writing to a server.
For Git this is called fetch-URL and push-URL, and most DCMS like hg have the same functionality. An example would be to fetch via http and to push via ssh. This is not currently supported in the maven-scm URLs currently used. We already have an idea how we could enable scm-provider specific extensions in the pom somehow, but maybe we don't need to do this. Currently a git <scm> url looks like: scm:git:https://user:passw...@gitrepos.apache.org What about the following extension scm:git:fetch:https://user:passw...@gitrepos.apache.org/myprj:push:ssh://user:passw...@gitrepos.apache.org/home/gitrepos/myprj So we introduce 2 new tags :fetch: and :push: which may be parsed by the underlying scm provider. This technique can be used for whatever scm-provider which is able to use separate URLs for write and read operations. Ideally we should create a helper functions somewhere which does the parsing stuff and returns 2 URLs in the original format. If the old style (only 1 URL without fetch or push) is used, we simply use this URL for both operations. This should easily also work for maven2 WDYT?
