commented
As stated in the Maven SCM Providers Matrix
(http://maven.apache.org/scm/matrix.html), Maven Starteam SCM provider doesn't
support branching.
The fact is that stcmd.exe (the Starteam command used by the SCM provider)
supports branching. So, apparently is just a matter of extending the SCM
provider command wrapper to include the branch options.
I've not found any requests related to this neither in the issue tracker nor
in the road map. That's not good, because the lack of branching is preventing
my company to fully adopt maven, so I appreciated to see that feature implement
in a future maven release.
