Hi, why is branch name stated as optional at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/branch-mojo.html when it clearly isn't? Also the example at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/branch.html is saying
To execute this step, run: mvn release:branch which gives: [INFO] [release:branch] [INFO] -------------------------------------------- [ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] -------------------------------------------- [INFO] The branch name is required. ???
