Description

Given: a project using CI-friendly versions as per https://maven.apache.org/maven-ci-friendly.html

  <version>${revision}</version>
  ...
  <properties>
    <revision>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</revision>
  </properties>

If I run mvn release:update-versions (with or without -DautoVersionSubmodules=true) I expect the release plugin to change the $revision property. Instead it blindly replaces <version>${revision}</version> with the hard-coded version set on the CLI.
