------------------------------------------
Summary: Creating branch from a tag
Key: MRELEASE-1070
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1070
Project: Maven Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Peter Kronenberg
What is the correct process for using `release:branch` to create a branch from
a tag in order to create a Hotfix? If I just checkout the tag, the plugin
complains because I have a detached Head. If I checkout the tag with a
temporary branch name, then the plugin creates my new branch, but it also
commits changes to my temp branch, which I really just want to delete
I'm using a command line like this
`mvn release:branch -DbranchName="peter-test-90.90.90-SNAPSHOT"
-DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateWorkingCopyVersion=false
-DreleaseVersion="90.90.90-SNAPSHOT"`
Is there a way I can just tell it which tag that I want to create a branch off
of?
