How to fix the problem - just do that version bump yourself manually, second time it will work automatically

Here is history of commands of my failed 6.6.15 and 6.6.16, and how I made it work:

git tag -d 6.6.15
git tag -d 6.6.16
git push origin :/ref/tags/6.6.15
git push origin :refs/tags/6.6.16
mvn release:clean release:prepare -Darguments='-DskipTests=true'
gitk --all
git reset HEAD~1 --hard
git clean -fx
git pull
gitk --all
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=6.6.16-SNAPSHOT
git status
git clean -fx
git diff
git add .
git commit -m "manual version bump"
git push
mvn release:clean release:prepare -Darguments='-DskipTests=true'
git pull
git clean -fx

Another way to fix similar problem is to update maven-release-plugin to new version:

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>

 </plugin>

result in tag commited to remote but version bump was not happen to snapshot, see logs for details
