Release process should fail on error on update from remote

[szpak]

Currently it just ignores an error on update (here with connection timeout):

Task ':checkUpdateNeeded' has not declared any outputs, assuming that it is out-of-date.
 >>> Running [git, --git-dir=/home/foo/bar/.git, --work-tree=/home/foo/bar, remote, update]
 >>> Running [git, --git-dir=/home/foo/bar/.git, --work-tree=/home/foo/bar, remote, update]: [Fetching origin
][ssh: connect to host my.remote.host port 29418: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
error: Could not fetch origin
]
Running "git --git-dir=/home/foo/bar/.git --work-tree=/home/foo/bar status -sb"
(...)

It would expect it to fail (but maybe there are other usecases to make it useful).

Do you have the failOnUpdateNeeded flag set to false?

No, I didn't override this parameter.
