[jira] (MRELEASE-494) Should fail during release:prepare if scm:url doesn't match working copy

["Martin Todorov (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-494?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=302608#comment-302608 ] 

Martin Todorov commented on MRELEASE-494:
-----------------------------------------

Older versions of the plugin (ca. 2.1.x?) had a bug where the scm:url was getting messed up and when rolling back this would mess things up and keep an incorrect scm url.
Another case where this can happen is when developers have created a branch off a tag (manually) and have forgotten to change the scm url-s. This would be an excellent thing to check for!

> The release plugin should check scm:url against the output of {{svn info}}.  If they don't match, it should fail with an error.
> We had a situation where the pom file in a branch was screwed up during a merge, such that scm:url was incorrect.  In our case, it pointed to the trunk instead of the branch.
> This caused release:prepare to silently do the wrong thing.  It would still do the normal edit/commit in the working copy of the branch, but then it would do the copy using the scm:url.  In our case, this meant that the tag was copied from the trunk instead of the branch.
> In fact, release:perform also completed successfully; our only indication that there was a problem was the version number of the released artifacts.
> We cannot set remotetagging=false due to the Subversion bug trying to copy with svn > 1.5.
