Peter Kronenberg updated MRELEASE-1070:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
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?
