> When using the release-plugin with CVS, there does not seem to be any way to specify a version & versionType to base the release on.
> The scm plugin allows to specify scmVersion, scmVersionType to pass this information to the plugin, but when calling the release:perform goal, there is no way to send this information to the scm plugin to checkout the files from the appropriate branch/tag.
> Accordingly, it seems that with CVS, the only way to build a release is from the latest sources in the HEAD; not extremely practical.
