Can maven does following?
- Clone a repository with branch (Release-1.0) using maven-scm-plugin to specified target directory.(target/additional)
- Do not clean target directory and update pom.xml (clone same repository at same directory just change branch to Release-1.1). Can maven just Pull and checkout the local repository with branch Release-1.1.
Say:
Step 1: Using pom.xml clone a repository with branch Release-1.0 Step 2: Update pom.xml with same repository just different branch Release-1.1.
If, I use configuration (skipCheckoutIfExists) then Maven is not updating remote repository with changed branch i.e Release-1.1
If i don't use skipCheckoutIfExists, it just overrides the old remote repository.
Can anyone give me alternate solution for this issue?
