             Summary: Add 'tagByProject' configuration flag to release:prepare 
                 Key: MRELEASE-869
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-869
             Project: Maven Release Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: prepare
    Affects Versions: 2.5
         Environment: Git
            Reporter: Christopher Currie


For projects using Git, it would be convenient for sub projects to be referenced as Git submodules. This almost works perfectly in conjunction with the 'commitByProject' flag.

The one additional feature I would want is to have each sub project be tagged. A 'tagByProject' flag would have the following semantics:

* require and/or implicitly set commitByProject=true
* change the commit message to use the project name rather than the parent name
* tag the commit with a tag based on the project name rather than the parent project name.
