Fred Cooke created MRELEASE-817:
-----------------------------------
Summary: When tagging using git give an appropriate message
Key: MRELEASE-817
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-817
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: prepare
Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.3.2
Environment: All
Reporter: Fred Cooke
Priority: Minor
"copy for tag 0.4" is plain wrong for git. The message should be more like
"Version X.Y.Z tagged by m-rel-p" or something to that effect.
Perhaps configurable, or maybe even prompt for it, or pull it from a defined
file. This is what I do in my GNU-Make-maven-release-clone such that I can
enter a meaningful description of what is in the release, as part of the tag
object. I open a new temp file with vim and use the saved file as the tag
message. Maven could optionally prompt for it just as it does for the versions
itself.
In git these are known as annotated tags, and are something that SVN simply
does not have. The plugin is already using annotated tags, it's just that the
annotation itself is poor.
