Description

The release:prepare target fails with

[INFO] Tagging release with the label ADMIN_CONSOLE_3_2_8.
USERNAME@HOSTNAME's password:
Provider message:
The cvs tag command failed.
Command output:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
cvs tag: pom.xml is locally modified

Looking through the code it seems like the release fails beacuse the cvs command returns a status different from successful.
