I get the following error output while running the Maven release plugin prepare step i.e. mvn release:prepare --batch-mode -DreleaseVersion=1.1.2 -DdevelopmentVersion=1.2.0-SNAPSHOT -Dtag=v1.1.2 -X from an Atlassian Bamboo plan. However doing the same in the command line works fine. The full error stack is below.
Any ideas how can this be solved?

and this is very weird why is the local development clone output so different from the Bamboo one?
The problem in Atlassian Bamboo was solved by un-checking the default setting Use shallow clones with description Fetches the shallowest commit history possible. Do not use if your build depends on full repository history. This checkbox is located under Plan Configuration -> Repositories tab -> Git -> Advanced options
After this all the releases work fine.
