So I've done some digging, and we have update the release plugin while
updating the Apache parent POM dependency.

When we released 2.21.16, two commits were made:

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-parent/pom.xml?r1=1908795&r2=1908808&diff_format=h

This added

...to the end of jackrabbit-parent/pom.xml (note the weirdness here:
jackrabbit is in svn, not git)

In

https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-parent/pom.xml?r1=1908808&r2=1908810&diff_format=h

this was not removed.

It appears that when this entry is present in jackrabbit-parent/pom.xml,
it is used to determine what should checked be out for the release.

If anybody has an idea what happened here, let me know.

I'll try to reproduce this more precisely when I have time.

Best regards, Julian
