------------------------------------------------------------------

Except for the regression to 2.3.2 I could get around this bug by using this command (releaseVersion instead of developmentVersion):
{code}
mvn -DdryRun=true release:clean release:branch -DbranchName=branchName -DreleaseVersion=1.4.0 -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
{code}

That left me with version 1.4.1-SNAPSHOT (instead of 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT), but that is not a such big bump in the road.

What I don't know is if this is intended behaviour (which will stop working after a fix) or just a byproduct of a bug, since releaseVersion should be used when updating the version in the branch and not the working copy.

> I have a simple multimodule (1 parent, 2 child projects) using the version 1.1.2-SNAPSHOT in all the modules. When I use the following command I am offered version 1.1.3-SNAPSHOT to be the new working copy version.
> mvn -DdryRun=true release:clean release:branch -DbranchName=branchName -DdevelopmentVersion=1.4.0 -DautoVersionSubmodules=true
> I tried using older version of the plugin, and the first version that works OK when I went back through all the versions is 2.3.2. There I am offered the correct version (according to the documentation - http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/branch-mojo.html#developmentVersion).
