Konrad Windszus commented on SCM-970: ------------------------------------- Although I agree that having separate APIs would be a nice long-term goal, for the short-term a documentation would help a lot how the decentralized providers (particularly git) behave for the existing {{ScmManager}} methods (i.e. when the index is updated and when/which parts are committed/pushed). > Have separate APIs for distributed and centralized version control > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: SCM-970 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-970 > Project: Maven SCM > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Robert Scholte > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > The nature of these 2 types are very different. The original scm api was > based on centralized repositories, and the distributed was implemented behind > those methods, which makes it more complex than required. > Splitting this will make it easier to make full use of distributed features. > Keep in mind that plugins like the maven-release-plugin must still be able to > do their work, but they may need to provide implementations for both tastes > (unless the original scm-api implements it). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
