+      <answer>
+        <p>If the pom.xml has no scm-section but inherits one from its parent, the prepare will fail when trying to tag.
+           The message will be something like:</p>
+        <pre>svn: Path '...' does not exist in revision ...</pre>
+        <p>To fix it, roll-back the release, add the <code>scm</code> section to the pom.xml, commit and retry the release.</p>
