[jira] (MRELEASE-679) CLONE -release:prepare 2.0 goal tags at the wrong level, tagging project/ instead of project/trunk

Frans commented on MRELEASE-679:
--------------------------------

Same issue. Maven-release-plugin:2.0, Subversion, multi-module project with the parent POM (for inheritance purposes) outside the project tree, but aggregator POM at the top level of the project tree.

The only "strange" thing about our setup is that we have a company wide parent pom that the modules in the multi-module project inherit from. The top-level pom is only an aggregator pom with <module> entries, not a parent pom in the inheritance sense.

Structure:
  top-level-project (has <module> definitions and scm connectionUrl = scm:svn:https://svn/repository/project/trunk)
    |-- module1 (parent = company-wide parent pom)
    |-- module2 (parent = company-wide parent pom)
    |-- etc.

With this setup, the release:prepare creates the tag in https://svn/repository/project/tags/project-version (that's correct), but the contents are the entire contenst of https://svn/repository/project, i.e.:
  project-version
    |-- branches
    |-- tags
    |-- trunk

How this is even possible I don't know. Doesn't it tag your working copy? That doesn't contain trunk, tags, branches!

I tried changing the scm URL to scm:svn:http://svn/repository/project (without /trunk) but then it gets even worse: the tag is then created in https://svn/repository/ and contains the entire contents (i.e. all project directories) of that SVN repository!

Both variations (with and without /trunk) used to work just fine pre-2.0.

Also tried scm:svn:https://svn/repository/project/ (with trailing slash but without trunk). Same result as just scm:svn:https://svn/repository/project (without trailing slash).

> We have switched to the release plug-in 2.0 and are using the prepare goal as we did before using version 2.0-beta-9. Unfortunately, the tag which is now created is copied from the project level, and from the trunk. With version 2.0-beta-9, the tag was correctly copied from the trunk.
> With 2.0-beta-9:
> {noformat}
>  /project
>    |-- trunk/
>          |-- pom.xml
>          |-- src/
>    |-- tags/
>          |-- 4.0.1/ (<-- copied from trunk
>               |-- pom.xml
>               |-- src/
> {noformat}
> With 2.0:
> {noformat}
>  /project
>    |-- trunk/
>          |-- pom.xml
>          |-- src/
>    |-- tags/
>          |-- 4.0.1/ (<-- copied from trunk
>               |-- trunk/
>                    |-- pom.xml
>                    |-- src/
>               |-- tags/
>               |-- branches/
> {noformat}
> Our _pom.xml_ SCM information is declared as follow:
> {noformat}
> <scm>
> 	<developerConnection>scm:svn:svn://host/path/project/trunk</developerConnection>
> </scm>
> {noformat}
