             Summary: Maven release plugin with git - Create release branch only for a particular sub-module
                 Key: MRELEASE-794
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-794
             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: scm
    Affects Versions: 2.3.2
         Environment: git
            Reporter: Gayathri Muralidharan
            Priority: Minor


I am trying to use maven release plugin for creating a branch from trunk.

Ex. repository.git/ 
            child1/ 
            child2/

The plugin creates a new branch that contains my entire repository. How can i restrict it to create a branch that contains only child1 ?

Currently the pom.xml connection, developer connection and url are as follows :

<scm>
  <connection>scm:git:ssh://githost/repository.git</connection>
 <developerConnection>scm:git:ssh://githost/repository.git</developerConnection>
  <url>scm:git:ssh://githost/repository.git</url>
  <tag>HEAD</tag>
</scm>

In svn we used to achieve this by using the absolute path to child1 in developerConnection.
