Ernst de Haan created MRELEASE-853:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Use "git --depth 1"Â When Checking Out
Key: MRELEASE-853
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-853
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Git
Affects Versions: 2.2.2
Environment: Maven 3.1.1
Reporter: Ernst de Haan
*Executive summary: Please use {{--depth 1}} when checking out from a git
repository.*
Currently when doing {{mvn release:prepare release:perform}}, the git checkout
step takes a significant amount of time.
During the git checkout it appears to not only check out the correct version of
the code, but also _all_ history, as would be done with a regular:
{code:none}git clone URL{code}
However, git supports checking out only the latest version of the code base,
using this command: {code:none}git clone --depth 1 URL{code}
For the purpose of the Maven Release Plugin, that should be sufficient, as far
as I can see.
Changing the plugin to use {{--depth 1}} would significantly improve
performance and reduce I/O on repositories with a lot of history.
