Martin Ellis commented on MRELEASE-875: --------------------------------------- In case it helps anyone, I am currently working around this as follows: * Use maven-release-plugin version 2.4.2 * Ensure git output is English * Set git's {{status.displayCommentPrefix}} configuration property to {{true}} (see below) I've set the displayCommentPrefix option in the .gitconfig of the user running release:prepare as follows: {noformat} [status] displayCommentPrefix = true {noformat} I haven't looked into whether there's a similar workaround for 2.5(.x) yet. Also, I haven't seen the "ref HEAD is not a symbolic ref" error reported by Alejandro E. > release:prepare does not commit pom.xml if not in the git root > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-875 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-875 > Project: Maven Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.5 > Environment: git 1.9.0 > Reporter: john ten Den > > When the project pom.xml is not in the Git project root (f.e. in the "src" > directory) the pom.xml not committed and pushed (before tagging) > Commit of the pom.xml during release:prepare works fine if it is in the / > (root) of the git repository > Using the pom.xml in a subdirectory worked well with version 2.4.2 using git > 1.7. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
