[jira] Commented: (BUILDR-257) Release should fail if tag already exists

["Alexis Midon (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-257?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12677187#action_12677187 ] 

Alexis Midon commented on BUILDR-257:
-------------------------------------

The historical reason for deleting the tag seems to be that,  'svn copy'  create a new dir in the existing tag instead of overriding it.

I still think the release should fail (early) if the tag release

> Today before creating the tag in the vcs, the release task deletes any existing tag with the same name, and then creates a new one.
> Meaning that if people have already checked out the old tag, the content  will changed behind their backs and they might not be aware of it.
> It seems really dangerous.
> If a tag already exists, the release task should fail.
