Having trouble with Maven Release plugin -- "Cannot prepare the release because you have local modifications"

[Dave]

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of Jenkins, SVN 1.7, and just installed the Maven Release plugin for Jenkins.  Is there any way to configure the Maven release plugin to do a fresh checkout from SVN before it runs?  I'm running the plugin by doing the following:

- From my job, clicking "Perform Maven Release" from the left panel
- Clicking the checkbox "Specify SCM login/password" and filling in my SVN username and password.
- Clicking the button "Schedule Maven Release Build"

However, I'm getting the error, "Cannot prepare the release because you have local modifications".  The plugin doesn't appear to have any other configuration options.  Below is the complete stack trace.

You need too add target/ to svn:ignore
