[jira] [Created] (MRELEASE-1070) Creating branch from a tag

Peter Kronenberg created MRELEASE-1070:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Creating branch from a tag
                 Key: MRELEASE-1070
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRELEASE-1070
             Project: Maven Release Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Peter Kronenberg


What is the correct process for using `release:branch` to create a branch from a tag in order to create a Hotfix?  If I just checkout the tag, the plugin complains because I have a detached Head.  If I checkout the tag with a temporary branch name, then the plugin creates my new branch, but it also commits changes to my temp branch, which I really just want to delete

 

I'm using a command line like this

`mvn release:branch -DbranchName="peter-test-90.90.90-SNAPSHOT" -DupdateBranchVersions=true -DupdateWorkingCopyVersion=false -DreleaseVersion="90.90.90-SNAPSHOT"`

 

Is there a way I can just tell it which tag that I want to create a branch off of?
