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

    Component/s: scm

> Create a branch during prepare
> ------------------------------
>
>                 Key: MRELEASE-170
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-170
>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: scm
>            Reporter: Jonathan Komorek
>            Priority: Minor

> It is typical with some of my projects that as I'm cutting the release I am already thinking about the next patch. In other words, creating a branch to allow patching of a release is a part of my release process.
> I would like a way to create a branch during the prepare goal of a release. For instance, if I'm releasing 4.0-SNAPSHOT I would like to create a 4.0 tag as is currently done, but also a 4.0.1-SNAPSHOT branch.
> Please note that I have recently migrated from CVS / ANT to SVN / Maven so I'm open to alternatives from someone with more experience on these platforms. Although I have not written any code for a Maven plugin previously, I would be willing to make these additions myself if nobody minds and I can get someone to review my code - the experience would help me better understand Maven and this plugin in particular.
