----------------------------------------

No need to apologize, Lincoln.  :)

Forge is a fine piece concept and piece of software, with the occasional hiccup ... as most pieces of software have.
This issue is merely a reminder for us all.

> The repository.yaml file holds a Maven GAV to each Forge Plugin.
> However, Forge's resolution only retrieves the latest/HEAD revision of a particular Git Branch, ignoring the Maven GAV given in the repository.yaml.
> Thus, one *must* release SNAPSHOT plugin versions in order to be able to bugfix Forge plugins. This is quite contrary to a normal Maven release, where SNAPSHOT versions are not permitted (for example by the release plugin).
> So ...
> # Forge only uses HEAD of a branch to find a plugin source code revision
> # Repository.yaml indicates that a particular Maven GAV for a project should be used for the plugin
> # During resolution, Forge ignores the Maven GAV in repository.yaml
> # Maven releases are normally not permitted to contain SNAPSHOTs, but the two facts above *requires* Forge plugins to be Maven SNAPSHOTs.
> It seems that two different (and not particularly coherent) models are used to define Forge's resolution here.
