Robert Scholte commented on SCM-783:
------------------------------------
Proposal:
{code:title=ScmManager.java}
/**
* Verify if the tagName exists within the repository
*/
ExistsScmResult existsTag(ScmRepository repository, String tagName);
/**
* Verify if the branchName exists within the repository
*/
ExistsScmResult existsBranch(ScmRepository repository, String branchName);
{code}
> Support existence check for tags and branches
> ---------------------------------------------

> Key: SCM-783
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-783
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: maven-scm-api
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
>
> The {{prepare}} goal of the maven-release-plugin does the following scm tasks:
> # commit the adjusted pom.xml with final versions and new
> (developer)connection
> # tag
> # commit the adjusted pom.xml for the next development cycle.
> If step 2 fails because the tag already exists, the pom is in a wrong status
> at the trunk. A next attempt to do the {{prepare}} will fail. To prevent this
> simple mistake is by checking the existence of the tag *before* step 1.
> The same should be done for branches.
