Benson Margulies created MRELEASE-800: -----------------------------------------
Summary: branch has undesirable commit pattern for git Key: MRELEASE-800 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-800 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: branch, Git Affects Versions: 2.3.2 Reporter: Benson Margulies The branch mojo commits as follows if you ask for a new version on the branch and not in the working copy: # edit the new version into the working copy # commit # branch # do a 'git revert' to undo the change This results in a weird history. Better would be: # checkout -b as it were to make new branch # edit to put new version in new branch # commit on new branch -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
