Create a branch during prepare
------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-170
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-170
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jonathan Komorek
Priority: Minor
It is typical with some of my projects that as I'm cutting the release I am
already thinking about the next patch. In other words, creating a branch to
allow patching of a release is a part of my release process.
I would like a way to create a branch during the prepare goal of a release. For
instance, if I'm releasing 4.0-SNAPSHOT I would like to create a 4.0 tag as is
currently done, but also a 4.0.1-SNAPSHOT branch.
Please note that I have recently migrated from CVS / ANT to SVN / Maven so I'm
open to alternatives from someone with more experience on these platforms.
Although I have not written any code for a Maven plugin previously, I would be
willing to make these additions myself if nobody minds and I can get someone to
review my code - the experience would help me better understand Maven and this
plugin in particular.
