How to run release:perform from a given Git tag?
This issue is filed as SCM-729, and currently unresolved. In the meantime, you might consider a workaround.
The simplest is to forget about maven-release-plugin
; clone, check out that tag and then run mvn deploy
.
Alternatively, you can use release:perform
with a manually edited release.properties
file. Set scm.tag
and scm.url
and then run release:perform
.
