Add "scmTagComment" and "scmPostTagComment" parameters
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MRELEASE-706
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-706
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: prepare
            Reporter: Jackie Noi


Could you add two parameters that control what get written in the SCM comment when {{mvn release:prepare}} is run?

I suggest:

* {{scmTagComment}}: what should be written in the commit message of the tag;
* {{scmPostTagComment}}: what should be written in commit message for the commit with the new version.

For example, in my project ProjectFOO I would set {{scmTagComment}} to "Released ProjectFOO (v@{project.version})" and {{scmPostTagComment}} to "Prepare for ProjectFOO next development iteration (v@{project.version})". (I suppose @{project.version} will change after the tag has been put.)

Changing commit message of already tagged commits is an uncomfortable process in SVN and Git, I'd love having {{mvn release:prepare}} get it right instead of having to fix it manually.
