Bump.
Any Mercurial and Maven users here that struggle with the release plugin?
What I am doing to get around this isn't pretty and I'd prefer avoid it and fold that feature in the release plugin itself. Essentially, I configured a post-clone hook that triggers a script to update to the right branch. When maven release:perform clones the hg repository, the hook becomes active. It works, but it's dirty.

Hello List--I am trying to use the release plugin to make a release build off a named branch using Mercurial. The problem I am running into is that release:perform is not switching to the release branch, it is, however, pulling the right tag, but that's not enough with mercurial, the branch needs to be specified as well:hg clone -r release-tag -r release-branch ... Is there a way to get the plugin to clone the repository that way? Thanks, Sebastien Martel
