[MRELEASE-701] maven:prepare failed with GIT SCM in multimodule project with quite same name

**[jurevert](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=jurevert)** opened **[MRELEASE-701](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-701?redirect=false)** and commented

In multimodule projects have directory tree like :

```
SampleProject
|-- pom.xml (Modules : SampleProjectEAR,SampleProjectWeb,SampleProjectCommons)
SampleProjectEAR
|-- pom.xml (Parent : SampleProject pom.xml)
SampleProjectWeb
|-- pom.xml (Parent : SampleProject pom.xml)
SampleProjectCommons
|-- pom.xml (Parent : SampleProject pom.xml)
```

While running :

```
mvn release:prepare
```

GIT tries to commit files under but the error below appears:

```

```

The problem is that GIT is trying to add files :
**Commons/pom.xml Web/pom.xml EAR/pom.xml**
instead of
[Path]/SampleProjectCommons/pom.xml [Path]/SampleProjectCommonsWeb/pom.xml [Path]/SampleProjectCommonsEAR/pom.xml

If you rename the project **SampleProject**, the BUILD is succeed.
