create the possibility for performing a local checkout instead a clean checkout
from the upstream repository for DSCMs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-501
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-501
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: perform
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-10
Reporter: Mark Struberg
For distributed SCMs like GIT, JGit, hg, etc we don't need to do a e.g.
git-clone git://upstreamserver.com/location but should only do a localCheckout.
This would be possible by simply cloning from file://${basedir} in the
release:perform phase if -DlocalCheckout=true is used.
This option will speed up the builds of large projects heavily since no network
transfer is needed. Usually DSCMs also have the feature to only create
hardlinks instead of copying all files in the repo. I know this works really
well for GIT [1] but have to check this feature with JGit. In any case omitting
the network transfer would be a huge blast on it's own.
