I'm afraid that I wasn't entirely clear... I will run the branch goal from the trunk using a pom with a version of 3.5.0-SNAPSHOT. It (correctly) creates a branch of the appropriate number (because I passed in the name). But then it tries to update the working copy pom on the trunk to 3.5.1-SNAPSHOT -- I need it to be 3.6.0-SNAPSHOT. So, yes, it is behaving exactly as you said. Alas, I'm totally stuck with the 3-digit system. I just want to tell the plugin which version to use for the next LOCAL version.
