Description
AIUI, the release plugin currently updates the trunk (or branch) working copy in order to create the RC tag.
This is inherently unsafe, as the trunk loses its SNAPSHOT status for a short while.
Also, if the RC fails, trunk has to be reset in order to start again.
A better method would be to check out trunk into a new working copy, update that, and create the tag from the new WC.
This has the added benefit of creating a clean working copy.
