Use SBT Release Plugin (https://github.com/sbt/sbt-release).

Next proposal related to #85

Use SBT Release Plugin (https://github.com/sbt/sbt-release) instead of manual release process.
To release next version of SCoverage just run "sbt release" (not "sbt +release"!!!).

@sksamuel, if it's OK, you can use this plugin in sbt-scoverage module as well.

SBT Release pipeline can be customized. I used this feature to test plugin usage on local git repo (without pushing) and without running unit tests (one fails now).
In case someone will find it useful I replaced:

  ) ++ ReleasePlugin.releaseSettings ++ Seq(
    ReleaseKeys.crossBuild := true,
    ReleaseKeys.publishArtifactsAction := PgpKeys.publishSigned.value
  )

with

    ReleaseKeys.releaseProcess := Seq[ReleaseStep](
      checkSnapshotDependencies,
      inquireVersions,
      //(one test fails) runTest,
      setReleaseVersion,
      commitReleaseVersion,
      tagRelease,
      publishArtifacts,
      setNextVersion,
      commitNextVersion //,
      //(I have not defined a tracking branch) pushChanges
    )
