> We have a parent corporate POM that is not in the parent folder of each project. When running release:perform, the correct (as specified) GIT SCM URL is not used, but instead a URL is created by appending the Maven artifact name to the SCM URL of the parent corporate POM project. Which doesn't make sense at all to me:
> 1. There is no requirement (and in fact bad practice in a lot of cases) that the POM hierarchy should map exactly to the folder hierarchy. So a parent POM doesn't have to reside in a parent directory.
> 2. There is no requirement (but maybe good practice) to have folder names in SCM be the same as the artifact names. In our case, we have a bad artifact name that we want to keep so as not to have to modify a lot of POMs, but we wanted a clearer repository name for the new Git repository. 
> This is the error message from the 'mvn release:perform' command.
> INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /Users/pettermahlen/git/sponsoredlinks-client/target && git clone git://git.shopzilla.com/java/common.mvn.git/slg_client /Users/pettermahlen/git/sponsoredlinks-client/target/checkout

> The SCM configuration from the 'slg_client' pom.xml is;
>   <scm>
>     <connection>scm:git:git://git.shopzilla.com/site/client/sponsoredlinks-client</connection>
>   </scm>
> The workaround that I have found is to manually edit the release.properties file and change to using the correct SCM URL.
