Either tag option is ignored in branch goal or documentation is incomplete
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-712
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-712
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: branch
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Laird Nelson
The plugin documentation for the branch goal [specifies a "tag"
option|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/branch-mojo.html#tag].
It is not clear what this tag option is for.
If you supply it during a branch operation, it appears to be ignored.
I attempted in this command line to create a branch named foobar-0.5.X from a
tag named foobar-0.5. Instead the branch was created from the trunk:
{code}
mvn release:branch -DbranchName=foobar-0.5.X -DupdateBranchVersions=true
-DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=false -Dtag=foobar-0.5
{code}
The output included this:
{code}
[INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /Users/ljnelson/Projects/foobar && svn
--non-interactive copy --file
/var/folders/BT/BT0U2CqlGHuq-S5z-Xo+6E+++TI/-Tmp-/maven-scm-1493371414.commit
--revision 964 http://blargh.com/svnrepos/foobar/trunk/foobar
http://blargh.com/svnrepos/foobar/branches/foobar-0.5.X
{code}
Note the copy from the trunk to the new branch. I was expecting the copy to be
from {{^/tags/foobar-0.5}} to the new branch.
Perhaps this is not what the tag option is for in the branch goal. If so, then
the documentation for the tag option needs to be clarified.
Thanks!
