Move maven-release to git

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

Since I'm planning a release, it occurs to me that this would be a
convenient moment to move this project. Did we decide to just migrate
things like this with no further discussion, or do we decide one by one?

Since scm is in git already, avoiding moving does not protect us from
bootstrap problems.

I see some irony in the fact that the bug I'm trying to resolve,
MRELEASE-875, is all about having multiple releasable units in one repo.

According to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Git+Migration,
release is suppose to migrate!

IIRC the bottom line is that some parts are hard to migrate.
For instance: we prefer to keep the plugins together, but if it's 1 repo  
per release-cycle project, we need a huge number of separate repo's.
For the maven-release project, as being one of the most active developers  
on this project I didn't had the need to move it. Subversion works fine  
for me. However, it's an isolated project, so it is a good candidate *if*  
we want to move it.

thanks,
Robert

Hi

I think that we have landed at this: whoever feel like moving
something to git announces it to the dev community and if no one
objects then goes ahead with the move.

That being said, maven-release is a vital component in this case. We
need to be absolutely certain that the release-plugin work correctly
for our project/module setup (directory structure) when using git. If
it doesn't we could end up in a situation where we need to patch
maven-release, but can't release it because maven-release is busted
when using git. Now I'm not saying it is busted, although there has
been numerous bugs reported on the subject. We just need to sure that
it is good enough.

I am not that good with git, so I will let others be the judge as to
whether git support in maven-release is good enough. Apart from this I
have no objections to move maven-release to git.
