[jira] (MRELEASE-839) Unable to supply tag to release for release:perform

["Joshua Spiewak (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-839?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=343155#comment-343155 ] 

Joshua Spiewak commented on MRELEASE-839:
-----------------------------------------

I think the problem may be that the other mojos were all updated to extend the new {{AbstractScmReleaseMojo}} while {{PerformReleaseMojo}} still extends {{AbstractReleaseMojo}}. Thus {{mvn release:perform}} does not have access to the tag that is passed in, and the git scm provider tries to run {{git clone --branch <repo> <directory>}}. Since the tag is missing from the command, you get an error:

{noformat}
[ERROR] The git-clone command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] fatal: repository '/Users/jspiewak/work/bc/mrptest/target/checkout' does not exist
{noformat}

This is still an issue with 2.5
