werner mueller commented on MRELEASE-170:
-----------------------------------------
plus one vote from me
a command line option during the release steps or a config option in the pom to
create a branch in addition to the tag would be nice
of course with svn its easy to manually copy the tag to the branches folder.
nonetheless cvs migration users still stick with tagging and branching :)
> Create a branch during prepare
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-170
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-170
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: scm
> Reporter: Jonathan Komorek
> Priority: Minor
>
> It is typical with some of my projects that as I'm cutting the release I am
> already thinking about the next patch. In other words, creating a branch to
> allow patching of a release is a part of my release process.
> I would like a way to create a branch during the prepare goal of a release.
> For instance, if I'm releasing 4.0-SNAPSHOT I would like to create a 4.0 tag
> as is currently done, but also a 4.0.1-SNAPSHOT branch.
> Please note that I have recently migrated from CVS / ANT to SVN / Maven so
> I'm open to alternatives from someone with more experience on these
> platforms. Although I have not written any code for a Maven plugin
> previously, I would be willing to make these additions myself if nobody minds
> and I can get someone to review my code - the experience would help me better
> understand Maven and this plugin in particular.
