Major Description
I am using the release plugin to release through a CI server. What I do is creat a branch with
mvn release:branch --batch-mode -DbranchName=0.1.11 -Dproject.net.aim:releaseTest=0.1.11 -Dproject.net.aim:releaseTest=0.1.12-SNAPSHOT -DupdateBranchVersions=true
A branch is created and the current dev branch is getting to the next SNAPSHOT Version, so far so good.
To complete the version I need to do the next step. I want to do a release:perform to release the newly created branch. This fails with the following error message:
$ mvn release:perform
