Problem with scm:perform-release?

[Brian Enigma <en...@netninja.com>]

     I am not sure if this is a problem with my usage or a bug, but I 
seem to be having difficulty with the scm:perform-release goal in both 
RC1 and RC2.  The project has been properly tagged with 
prepare-release, as I can manually do a "cvs export" and grab all the 
correct files.  Running a perform-release asks all the expected 
questions, but when it comes time to grab the files, Maven spits out 
the following messages:

scm:cvs-checkout-project:
     [echo] Checking out macpackage; from CVSROOT: 
:ext:brienigma@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/macpackage; using tag: 
macpackage_0_5
     [mkdir] Created dir: 
/Users/enigma/Code/java/macpackage/checkouts/macpackage
     [cvs] Using cvs passfile: /Users/enigma/.cvspass
     [cvs] cvs checkout: in directory macpackage:
     [cvs] cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such 
file or directory
     [cvs] cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open CVS/Tag: No such file or 
directory

...at which point, it hangs (utilizing no CPU or network resources) and 
I have to ^C to quit.  As I understand it, CVS does not hold any files 
named "Tag" under its /CVS control folders, so I am not sure why this 
is being sought after.  I am also a little confused as to why it would 
be using a .cvspass file when I have cvs and maven set up to use ssh 
and public/private key pairs (other Maven ssh-related operations work, 
like generating reports for the website).  It appears that absolutely 
nothing gets checked out: the ./target/checkouts/macpackage folder ends 
up being empty.  Am I doing something stupid?  Is there a deficiency in 
the documentation?  Should I write this up as a bug?
