Commit hash is not correct when used with maven-release-plugin

[salyh]

maven-git-commit-id-plugin (2.2.0) determine wrong commit (548df55) when used with maven-release-plugin. It should point to 6e8a477.

I fear this may be simply because "during which phase the plugin is run"... If you'd be able to investigate in which phase we'd be able to get the right id, if possible, that'd be awesome I currently do not have the time to research that

I'll dig into this @ktoso since after #240, it clear that the release plugin is doing some weird stuff. It seems to be temporally mucking with the git metadata during the prepare and release process. This bothers me. The maven-git-commit-id-plugin is simply reading the metadata that is available to the git repo. With #240, it was changing the origin URI to include credentials. I would not be surprised to see it doing something else. I'll post back when I find more.

Thanks a lot for the help!

I would consider the following the most common way to perform a release:

• mvn release:prepare -> docs: https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#preparationGoals -> default seems: clean verify -> basically calls releaseManager.prepare

• mvn release:perform -> docs: https://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/perform-mojo.html#goals -> default seems value is either deploy or deploy site-deploy -> basically calls releaseManager.perform
