Any chance you are going to update you VCS tagging task to include the svn comment. Seem like a 5 minute task to me to update the gui screen and pass it as variable to the SVN comand your running

Resnamy add a global or plan variable for the password and insert that with your --password argument. That should mask the password in the log files. Make sure you name the variable something like SVN.password (where it contains the string "password") I think that should mask it. We have been using a script to do the tagging this way since we started using bamboo. We also have to slap a bunch of cert stuff on the end in order to get it to work.

I also need to specify a message during VCS tagging, without that functionality the VCS tagging is useless

It seems to be an easy change, any chance to have this in the near future?

As a workaround, I've added the below script task. But it's printing the password in the logs. Any update on when this feature will be delivered?

svn copy -r

.... --username xxxxxx -password xxxxxxx

We are using Bamboo 5.3 and we need to create tags from within Bamboo.
I first thought using Bamboo's own Repository support (specifically TaggingAwareRepository, which is implemented by SvnRepository), but there is no way to add a message to the tag commit. SvnRepository explicitly sends an empty String ("") as commit message.
Using TaggingAwareRepository would be very useful and would free us from VCS-specific details.
I believe I will have to manually run svn, manually pass the parameters, and handle all the process creation nuances.

Hi James,
Any update on this? . This is very basic svn feature. It's not a good practice to tag without a comment.

ron.chan were you using the Release Management plugin in 3.1?

Really would be nice to get this simple feature in.

I upgraded the firm from 3.1.4 to 4.2 and lost ability to tag.

No movement on it yet, Marco. Ill see what we can do though

Any news on that issue?
