John K. Harvey commented on MRELEASE-579: ----------------------------------------- I had the same problem today, and think this is already fixed. The dependency, SCM-574 went to SCM 1.5. That particular version was pulled into maven release plugin 2.2, under bugfix MRELEASE-641. To solve this, you need to add the following to your pom: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2</version> </plugin> This bug can probably be duped to MRELEASE-641. Hope this helps! > Branch fails with error message > -------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-579 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-579 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: branch > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Mac OS X 10.6, git version 1.7.1 > Reporter: Tommy Odom > > When attempting to run release:branch from my master branch I get an error > message that the git commit failed. > It appears that when I run mvn release:branch from my master branch that when > it tries to execute the commit after "modifying" the POMs that it fails > because none of the POMs were actually modified initially (nothing to change > for git to create the branch).
