Eric Leventhal Arthen commented on MRELEASE-933:
------------------------------------------------
It is helpful to know that this is generally working fine (as I would hope).
I will try to reproduce this outside of our build system (Teamcity), see which
specific version it breaks on and check if any of the dependencies we have
listed are to old or such.
> maven-release-plugin:perform from a tag is broken for Git in version 2.5.3
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-933
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-933
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Eric Leventhal Arthen
>
> We are also blocked from using {{maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform}} for Git
> releases because it no longer passes in the tag name so the "git clone" fails.
> This worked correctly in {{maven-release-plugin:2.3.2:perform}}, with that
> version we got a command like this:
> {noformat}
> git clone --branch my-base-1.4.6 git@bithub:abcde/fghij.git
> /home/buildacct/work/5f89075470257ef1/base/target/checkout
> {noformat}
> (Note that the name here is (correctly) a tag name created by
> release:prepare, even though it is passed to --branch.)
> With {{maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform}} it does not include the actual tag
> name after "--branch" so the command fails.
> {noformat}
> git clone --branch g...@bithub.brightcove.com:abcde/fghij.git
> /home/buildacct/work/7483cd6cc5ce81ea/target/checkout
> [ERROR] The git-clone command failed.
> {noformat}
> We have to downgrade to the older maven-release-plugin, 2.3.2. From the
> ticket below this also worked in 2.2.1. I have not tried other versions.
> Found a description of this problem in SCM-729 in a comment in Feb 2015, but
> are creating this ticket because the issue is a recently introduced bug and
> that ticket is a feature request for a different component.
