Unable to tag multiple projects in ClearCase in same VOB
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MRELEASE-506
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-506
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: prepare
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-8
            Reporter: Clint Shank


release:prepare attempts to create a new tag (label).  However, what if 
multiple projects are contained in the same ClearCase VOB, are built are 
different times and you wish to use the same label?  On the second project, the 
following error will occur:

[INFO] Unable to tag SCM
Provider message:
The cleartool command failed.
Command output:
cleartool: Error: Name "somelabel" already exists.
cleartool: Error: Unable to create label type "somelabel".


Perhaps the more appropriate error should be trying to apply a label to a file 
that already has already the label (moving the label could be configurable).


To reproduce, it's simply a matter of creating a label:

cleartool mklbtype -nc somelabel

and then running release:prepare:

mvn --batch-mode release:prepare -Dtag=somelabel
