[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2591?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=246000#action_246000 ] 

Brent N Atkinson commented on CONTINUUM-2591:
---------------------------------------------

Once the maven-scm git provider is updated, as long as the pom includes the proper 'tag' attribute in the scm metadata, continuum (actually maven-scm) can properly checkout the project and switch to the branch named in the 'tag' attribue.

> Git based maven2 builds can't properly release or checkout on branch

> It is not possible to add or release a maven2 project using the git scm when the project is on a branch. There appears to be multiple reasons for this:
> * The maven-scm version bundled with continuum is old and doesn't include git providers with sufficiently complete git support.
> * Git SCM URLs don't include sufficient information to identify the branch.
> * Continuum-release's UpdateWorkingCopyPhase doesn't properly update the working (it always uses master rather than the current branch)
