{noformat}
Executing: /bin/sh -c cd <a_dir> && git clone git://gitorious/<...>/deploy.git/home/maven-proj/target/deploy-workspace
{noformat}

> I want to checkout a specific branch from my git repo using the maven-scm-plugin. The plugin first clones the repo and gets the default branch as selected in gitorious. After that the plugin executes git pull ... mybranch which works fine as long as there are no merge conflicts between current branch and branch to checkout. In the case of any conflict an error occurs.
> The git checkout -b command should be used instead.
