Releasing flat multi-module projects using git

As suggest by rfscholte, I've cloned the MRELEASE-767 which has not been resoved in the 2.5 version.

When releasing a project as follows wit Git :

./parent/pom.xml
./module-a/pom.xml
./module-b/pom.xml

From the parent directory, with an scm config in the parent pom.xml (only) as follows:

<scm>
  <connection>scm:git:ssh://github.com/repox.git</connection>
  <developerConnection>scm:git:ssh://github.com/repox.git</developerConnection>
  <tag>master</tag>
  <url>https://github.com/view/repox.git</url>
</scm>

In org/apache/maven/shared/release/util/ReleaseUtils.java:182 it does this indiscriminately:

url = realignScmUrl( parentLevels, url );

This will trim the repo url from 'ssh://github.com/repox.git' -> 'ssh://github.com', which will cause a failure when pushing the tag.

This type of realignment is not appropriate when using a git scm type.
