Someone using GIT and Maven?

Hello,

I'm evaluating GIT in a Linux environment (Ubuntu 10.04) and one of our requirements is compliance with Maven 2.0. I tested the maven release plugin (mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare) but got this error:

... [INFO] Checking in modified POMs... [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git add -- pom.xml moduleA/pom.xml moduleB/pom.xml [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git status [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git commit --verbose -F /tmp/maven-scm-845822206.commit pom.xml moduleA/pom.xml moduleB/pom.xml [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git symbolic-ref HEAD [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git push http://172.17.27.218/project2 master:master [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Unable to commit files Provider message: The git-push command failed. Command output: error: Cannot access URL http://172.17.27.218/project2/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed

But if i use the git command push i don't have any problems:

~/git-repos4/project2# git push origin master
Fetching remote heads...

  refs/heads/
  refs/tags/

Could be an authentication problem?
I tried as well the command with username and password (mvn
-Dusername="admin" -Dpassword="admin"
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare), but got the same
error.
Then I tried to change the scm connection in the POM file, but got the same
error:
<scm>
   
<connection>scm:git:http://admin:admin@172.17.27.218/project2</connection>
</scm>

I have the file .netrc configured with host, username and password. Does Maven use this file?

Any ideas?

regards,

Santos
