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

Can this be implemented with the projectPath concept that the release plugin already understands?

ie change the git provider to parse the additional path information into the scm repository's projectPath attribute. Then as long as you follow the convention in placing modules in a subdirectory named for the module it should just work.

Of course it would be event better if the childPathAdjustment code was changed to use the relative path between module and parent rather than artifactId. I think even SVN modules that don't follow the convention are already broken in this regard.

> Some SCMs like GIT, Mercurial, Bazaar, BitKeeper, Darcs, and Monotone doesn't support sparse checkouts (checkout of a single subdirectory).
> So while doing a mvn release:perform in a sub-module, we will always get the _whole_ project checked out into target/checkout!
> For doing the clean build from this checkout, we have to implement a functionality to find the right submodule first.
