Using a temporary local repo

To avoid pushing to the remote repo in experimental attempts at releasing, you can clone your local repo…

git clone file:///foo/scala scala-release

then edit your ~/.m2/settings.xml file and add this…

<settings>
  <profiles> 
    <profile>
      <id>release</id>
      <properties>
        <release-altGitURL>scm:git:file:///foo/scalate</release-altGitURL>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

then perform a release in this new scala-release directory. This will then push to your local repo, not the remote one.
