-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow not updating the pom after tagging during release:prepare
                 Key: MRELEASE-842
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-842
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.3.2
            Reporter: Wim Deblauwe


I am using the release plugin with Maven and git. I also follow the gitflow convention and am using what is described here (http://vincent.demeester.fr/2012/07/maven-release-gitflow/) to do my releases.

I would like to be able to specify that the prepare goal should do everything it does now, but *not* update the pom.xml again after the tagging to a new SNAPSHOT version. It should also not ask for it ofcourse at the start of the release:prepare.

Now I have to invent a version which is never going to be used anyway and I would like to avoid the extra commit on the release branch. It would also avoid having to do the trick with the merge from HEAD-1 which can be easily forgotten.
