(d) Lincoln Baxter III commented on MRELEASE-878:
-------------------------------------------------
I believe this issue has to do with situation where the release plugin includes
the dependency-reduced-pom.xml from the shade plugin during Git activity, which
results in Git attempting to commit the file after the shade plugin has removed
it (since it is a temporary file, it should never be committed or picked up in
the release. It is an intermediate step.)

> Key: MRELEASE-878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-878
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Mirko Friedenhagen
>
> As stated in MOJO-2030 and MSHADE-145, both plugins create additional poms in
> {{basedir}} to avoid confusion while generating the site.
> This will lead to an error during {{release:prepare}}, so just exclude
> {{dependency-reduced-pom.xml}} and {{flattened-pom.xml}} by default as well.
