HTTPS authentication does not work similar to that of the SCM plugin

[gpaulissen]

First of all, thanks for this plugin which is really an improvement compared to the Maven release plugin.

I have been able to a scm:checkout of my project with JGit as the provider and HTTPS as the protocol. That works with this command:

mvn -X clean scm:bootstrap -DscmVersion=main -DscmVersionType=branch -Dgoals=clean -Dpassword=...

This releaser command however fails:

mvn releaser:next -DserverId=T-hive 

I have attached both the settings.xml and the pom.xml as text files. And the log files (created with mvn -X) where you can see that the SCM plugin adds the password to the SCM url unlike the releaser plugin.

settings.xml.txt
pom.xml.txt
mvn-scm.log
mvn-releaser.log
