Before issuing the 'mvn release:prepare' command, an 'svn update' on the parent directory of the directory renamed (or at the top level) will update the SubVersion metadata. The update command doesn't print anything so it appears like it doesn't do anything, but it's required nonetheless. Would there be any harm in having the release plugin perform an 'svn update' at the start of the release:prepare goal?
I have run into problems in the past with the release plugin and working copies that were fully checked in, but not up to date. I would argue that the equivalent of an "svn update" is performed by the release plugin when the check is made whether everything is checked in.
