I am using the Maven release plugin. When I run
mvn release:prepare
I am prompted with the usual about the versions
What is the release version for "FOO"? (foo:bar) 1.10.99999:
What is the new development version for "FOO"? (foo:bar) 1.10.100000-SNAPSHOT:
The process completes normally. A tag is created and pushed to the correct repository as specified in the SCM tag:
<scm>
<connection>scm:git:[email protected]:foo/bar.git</connection>
<tag>HEAD</tag>
</scm>
But the updates to the versions numbers are not committed, and thus the SNAPSHOT, in the case the 1.10.99999-SNAPSHOT is deployed on mvn deploy. It appears others have had this issue as well but no real answer has been found
What is happening here and how do I fix it?
