Issue #271110 - Attempt to pass -DarchetypeRepository to 3.x maven-archetype-plugin

[jglick]

The fix of BZ #271110 was pushed to Mercurial by @tstupka a couple months before the initial code donation, but apparently was never ported to Git. I am very disturbed that at least two months’ worth of commit history seems to have been discarded. What else was lost?

[geertjanw]

Not much happened in the months prior to the initial code donation, so not much could have been lost.

I think that @tstupka should create a PR if possible because he is the author of the code.

Ah, sorry, it's your patch.

The change was already accepted and looks sane, so feel free to merge.

For the "what happend to commits after donation comment": I contacted all people listed as committers in mercurial, that created commits after the donation. I asked them to reapply the patched on the apache repository. It was CCed to the private list to keep the PMC up-to-date:

Thanks, merging.

BTW in this case I was not listed even as the author, since the patch was applied without the right hg command.
