Modified Parent POM is not commited

I can successfully tag all sub projects of a parent pom (with the standard directory structure), but I'm unable complete the release:prepare operation since the parent POM is not checked in. As a result I am unable to perform a multi-project release. Each child pom has the scm repotisotries declared in the pom. Attached is verbose output of the command.

mvn -Duser.name=c200506 -X clean release:prepare
