Releasing with release-version.sh stops halfway with Git Bash on Windows

When having unstashed/uncommited changes in the working copy of a repository and running release-version.sh, it proceeds to create a tag but then leaves you with a 'detached HEAD' state without finalizing the release.

UPDATE: this might be unrelated to the changes, it also left me halfway through the process when starting with a clean state. So this might rather be related to me using Git Bash on Windows...

Sorry, this was a false alarm: for some reason (likely because I used one of Github's suggestions when first setting up the repository), I had release.properties in my .gitignore file, which blocked the release.

The commit fmi-faim/fmi-ij2-plugins@675653e fixed this, so I'm closing this issue.

@ctrueden what do you think, should we add a sanity check to release-version.sh to detect if some required files are ignored in the local git repo?

Good idea; I added a -f to the git add, so that even if release.properties is in the .gitignore, it will still be added no matter what.
