> When running release:branch with a mercurial repository, and having all properties set to defaults, I would expect the current version to be carried over to the new branch, and the new "developmentVersion" to be set on the original branch.  This is the behavior that I have always seen in the subversion provider (which is the only other one that I really have experience with), and what I believe the documentation states. However, that is not the behavior that I am seeing.  I see the branch created, then the new version set on the branch.
> I believe the issue is that HgBranchCommand not only creates a new branch, but updates the working copy to the new branch.  This seems to be counter to the behavior expected by maven-release-plugin, differs from the behavior in the subversion provider, and also seems to not be the behavior described in the ScmProvider interface.
> Since this "updating to the new branch" behavior is inherent to mercurial, I've written a patch that saves the original branch name prior to branching, and after branching is complete updates to the original branch.
