Hi Maven Release community,

I am working on a plugin for driving dotnet (.NET core) builds via Maven [1]. One particularly annoying thing with such projects is that project versions have to be sync'ed manually, while I would like it to be something that is governed by Maven so that if the pom.xml file specifies a version, then that is propagated also to the project.json files of a dotnet build/release. My plugin now has a goal for doing this (dotnet:update-versions) but I cannot hook that into the release process so that the outcome of this step (the changed project.json files) are added to the commits made by the release plugin. I have looked around in your source code and cannot find any way of doing it, and I also see that the release plugin explicitly only adds pom.xml files to the commit. Having a way to add other files would be great.
