Release plugin: able to create branches?

[Graham Leggett <mi...@sharp.fm>]

Hi all,

We have been using the release plugin very successfully to create tags 
and keep version numbers up to date for us.

We need similar behaviour to create branches - ie to update the version 
number, then create the branch.

Does anything like this exist in the release plugin, or in another plugin?

Regards,
Graham

I'm guessing that you use a non-Subversion repository, since Subversion
 makes no distinction between branches and tags (or any other directory,
for that matter) -- the distinction is maintained outside the
repository, in the minds of the people who adopt a policy to associate
branching activity with a directory labeled "branches", and similarly
with "tags".

Hi Graham.

No, the release plugin does not have a separate goal for that. you might
want to look at the maven-scm-plugin
