------------------------------------------
There is not way, this process is not supported currently.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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 -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=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?
