> 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 -DupdateWorkingCopyVersions=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?
