branching a sub module during a build
-------------------------------------

                 Key: MRELEASE-672
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-672
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1
         Environment: maven-release-plugin 2.1 with SVN
            Reporter: Lucien Weller


We have to requirement to create a reparate branch of a part of your source 
tree (concretely a sub module) somtime when building the entire tree. We 
automated this with a profile in pom.xml of that sub-module where we configured 
branch goal as part of packag phase with something like this:

<profile>
        <id>makeBranch</id>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                                <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
                                <executions>
                                        <execution>
                                                <id>make-branch</id>
                                                <phase>package</phase>
                                                <goals>
                                                        <goal>branch</goal>
                                                </goals>
                                                <configuration>
                                                        
<branchName>re${project.version}-branch</branchName>
                                                        
<developmentVersion>${project.version}</developmentVersion>
                                                        
<updateBranchVersions>true</updateBranchVersions>
                                                        
<releaseVersion>${project.version}-00-SNAPSHOT</releaseVersion>
                                                </configuration>
                                        </execution>
                                </executions>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </build>
</profile>

Unfortunately we faced two problems:
* Scm URL was not correctly handled for sub-module, acording path of module. 
This issue was already solved for Tagging in release preparation (see 
MRELEASE-261). We ported the fix for branching.
* With actual implementation all projects of a rector build are considered by 
branch goal. We solved this issue by filtering projects according their 
relative path.
