Description
We are also blocked from using maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform for Git releases because it no longer passes in the tag name so the "git clone" fails.
This worked correctly in maven-release-plugin:2.3.2:perform, with that version we got a command like this:
git clone --branch my-base-1.4.6 git@bithub:abcde/fghij.git /home/buildacct/work/5f89075470257ef1/base/target/checkout
(Note that the name here is (correctly) a tag name created by release:prepare, even though it is passed to --branch.)
With maven-release-plugin:2.5:perform it does not include the actual tag name after "--branch" so the command fails.
git clone --branch git@bithub.brightcove.com:abcde/fghij.git /home/buildacct/work/7483cd6cc5ce81ea/target/checkout [ERROR] The git-clone command failed.
We have to downgrade to the older maven-release-plugin, 2.3.2. From the ticket below this also worked in 2.2.1. I have not tried other versions.
Found a description of this problem in SCM-729 in a comment in Feb 2015, but are creating this ticket because the issue is a recently introduced bug and that ticket is a feature request for a different component.
