    Description

      Issue
      When invoking the maven release plugin on a pom.xml referenced by a path including a '.', the release tag created is incorrect.

      Example: mvn clean release:clean release:prepare release:perform [options] -f ./pom.xml

      This is true for both modular and hierarchical projects:

      /parent-pom/pom.xml
      /module-a/pom.xml
      /module-b/pom.xml

      and

      /pom.xml <-- this is the parent pom
      /module-a/pom.xml
      /module-b/pom.xml

      When releasing projects with either structure, invoking maven with "-f ./parent-pom/pom.xml" and "-f ./pom.xml" respectively, the tag operation copies from one level too high. For example if the svn structure is as follows:

      /trunk (at v 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT)
      /branches/project-0.1.x (at v 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT)
      /branches/project-0.2.x (at v 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT)
      /tags/project-0.1.0

      and a release is being made from trunk, the tag project-1.0.0 would contain the complete svn structure. When a release is being made from /branches/project-0.1.x, the tag project-0.1.0 would contain the two branches:

      /branches/project-0.1.x
      /branches/project-0.2.x

      Root cause
      After some debugging, I've found that the issue is caused by function getBaseWorkingDirectoryParentCount in org.apache.maven.shared.release.util.ReleaseUtil.

      I've created a patch (for trunk and 2.5), as attached, and tested it successfully on Windows7 and RHEL, with jdk1.6.0_26 and maven 3.0.4.
      Let me know if the patch is OK (we are currently using it without any issue, and resolving this bug) and I'll commit it accordingly.
