Hi, hope this is the right place for questions

I'm trying to figure out the proper workflow for creating a new release in a branch, but still setting the current branch for new development

Assuming I'm currently at release 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT. If I do `mvn release:prepare`, it correctly updates the version to 1.0.5, tags it, and then sets up for new development with 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT.

I want to do something similar with a new branch instead of tagging. My expectation would be the new branch would get 1.0.5 and the current branch would get 1.0.6-SNAPSHOT

Using the command 
```
mvn release:branch -DbranchName=1.0.5 -DreleaseVersion=1.0.5
```
I've tried variations of `-DupdateBranchVersions` and `-DupdateWorkingCopyVersions`. It doesn't appear to do what I want. I also can't seem to get `-DupdateVersionsToSnapshot=false` to work. It insists on naming the branch with Snapshot

Is there any way to do this?
