Luc Maisonobe updated MCHANGES-409:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
When using changes plugin on a project hosted at GitHub, there is always

an attempt to connect to GitHub even when reportSet contains *only* 
changes-report and nothing related to GitHub.

 

This creates several problems. The first one was already identified with 
MCHANGES-378 with

the subsequents request MCHANGES-396 which are not yet solved.

 

A new one arose in recent days as GitHub does not support username/password 
authentication anymore and MCHANGES-400 seems to prevent connecting otherwise.

 

So basically for now, being hosted at GitHub completely prevents using 
maven-changes-plugin since it mandates connecting to an host that mandates an 
authentication method that is not supported. And this even when you do *not* 
want the GitHub report at all.

 

So it would be nice to have a configuration parameter that allows to completely 
skip attempts to connect to GitHub (and the same would probably be useful also 
for other reports)
