Hi, I would like to have a mutable user of the cvs-connection, since the changes are done of different users. So I tried to do it like this:
<scm>
<connection>scm:cvs:pserver:${CVS_USER}@<CVS-URL></connection>
</scm>

The ${CVS_USER} is a property in settings.xml. This works fine for the first time, but when doing mvn release:clean release:prepare maven substitutes the CVS_USER for the current user and checks the pom in like this:
<scm>
<connection>scm:cvs:pserver:<user>@<CVS-URL></connection>
</scm>

It would be good, if the pom wouldn't override the variable ${CVS_USER}.
