pass in authentication credential and patch release

[kknd22]

This seems to be a fairly simple but very useful plugin. I got a questions:

1. how to configure authentication username/password for git
2. Is there releasePatch task?

Thanks

ok, release is the releasePatch that I asked for.

beside using ~/.netrc to passing in git credential, any better way?

Yes, release creates a patch version release. I created an issue to improve consistency with regards to these tasks (#30).

Concerning git credentials: Because the plugin just invokes the command-line git client, you are free to use your favourite git credentials mechanism.

Just as an example: I personally use the osxkeychain helper on my dev machine, and the Jenkins Credentials plugin on our CI server.
