release:prepare goal does not check early enough whether the specified tag
already exists in SVN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-397
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-397
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
Environment: multi-module build
Reporter: Ian Springer
I ran:
mvn release:prepare -Dresume=false -X -e "-DpreparationGoals=clean install
-Dmaven.test.skip=true" -Dtag=MyTag
not realizing a tag named MyTag already existed in SVN.
The release plugin eventually failed with a MyTag already exists error, but not
until after it had already updated all poms in the reactor to the release
version and committed them to SVN. But it did not roll back the SVN commit it
had done before aborting, so I had to roll it back manually.
The release plugin should check whether the tag already exists right in the
beginning (before anything has been committed to SVN) and abort if it does.
