> Key: SCM-571
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-571
> Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: maven-scm-provider-gitexe
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Gerald Jerome
> Assignee: Mark Struberg
> Priority: Major
>
> In the log of a release:perform, I noticed that the git clone command is
> being run. This will be a real killer for large repositories on the other
> side of a slow network or disk drive. It can also eat up disk space. A
> checkout would be preferred. Perhaps, the following would be better:
> mkdir -p target/checkout; cd target/checkout; GIT_DIR=../../.git git checkout
> *; cd ../..
> or,
> git checkout <new tag> #do perform in the original workspace
> Regards.
