Description

Currently, on a project without <scm> configured, mvn release:update-versions ends up with:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:update-versions (default-cli) on project wicketstuff-dojo: Missing required setting: scm connection or developerConnection must be specified.

Updating versions recursively definitely does not need SCM.
Could this restriction be removed? Thanks.
