Description

thank you very much for new release!
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-announce/201212.mbox/%3Cop.wpjbptp1kdkhrr@columbia%3E

it seems we need an emergency fix:

attached are 2 logs:
1) mvn-2.3.2.txt invocation that works fine with 2.3.2
2) mvn-2.4.0.txt invocation that fails with 2.4

problem:

"perform" does not commit tags, deploys snapshot instead of release

here is project parent:
http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/barchart/base/barchart-archon/2.3.6/barchart-archon-2.3.6.pom

build is invoked both times with this:

mvn --define resume=false release:prepare
mvn --define resume=false release:perform
