Mark Derricutt commented on SCM-444:
------------------------------------
Does anyone have a working example of git + the pushChanges=false configuration?
If there's no upstream git repository, what should one put in the scm section?
And does one tell maven to use the 1.4 git scm provider? Is it's not released
yet, is there any ETA for it?
> Git provider does 'git push' during 'mvn release:prepare' which causes
> unwanted problems

> When doing 'mvn release:prepare' with a Git provider, a 'git push' command is
> executed. This is not ideal because the push command can fail or push things
> from the local repository that are not needed/wanted in the remote
> repository. Some examples are:
> 1. The local repository has two branches: master (tracking origin/master) and
> dummy (tracking origin/dummy). The release is being made on the master
> branch, and the dummy and origin/dummy branches have diverged. Running
> 'release:prepare' causes a 'git push', which will succeed for the master
> branch (assuming that the release preparation has been made correctly) and
> fail for the dummy branch (the two branches have diverged and need to be
> merged or rebased). The release preparation aborts and the directory is left
> in a somewhat inconsistent state where manual cleaning up is needed (removing
> pom.xml.next files, changing versions to <new>-SNAPSHOT, etc.)
> 2. The local repository has two branches: master (tracking origin/master) and
> localtest (not in the origin repository). The localtest branch shouldn't be
> published because it is just used for some temporary testing and doesn't even
> work. It will be pushed during 'release:prepare'.
> Suggested behaviour: use 'git push origin <currentbranch>:<currentbranch>',
> or even better, query for which remote repository to push to (found in
> .git/config) and which branch to push from and to. For me, it would be great
> to have a 'confirm push' before doing it so as to keep things clean, but
> maybe that is quite complex.
