Peter Kronenberg commented on MRELEASE-1065:
--------------------------------------------
Well, my real question is what release:branch is supposed to do. Is there
additional documentation on that? It almost sounds like you're not
recommending it.
I don't want to have a tag on a branch. I want to create a branch instead of a
tag.
In your example above, which is close to what I'm doing now, what is the
purpose of the last step `mvn version:set`. `release:prepare` and
`release:perform` has already set the new version for development, correct?

> Hi, hope this is the right place for questions
> I'm trying to figure out the proper workflow for creating a new release in a
> branch, but still setting the current branch for new development
> Assuming I'm currently at release 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT. If I do *mvn
> release:prepare*, it correctly updates the version to 1.0.5, tags it, and
> then sets up for new development with 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT.
> I want to do something similar with a new branch instead of tagging. My
> expectation would be the new branch would get 1.0.5 and the current branch
> would get 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT
> Using the command
> {code:java}
> mvn release:branch -DbranchName=1.0.5 -DreleaseVersion=1.0.5
> {code}
> I've tried variations of *-DupdateBranchVersions* and
> *-DupdateWorkingCopyVersions*. It doesn't appear to do what I want. I also
> can't seem to get *-DupdateVersionsToSnapshot=false* to work. It insists on
> naming the branch with Snapshot
> Is there any way to do this?
