Experiments with the Maven Release Plugin, using branching instead of tagging

Experiments with the Maven Release Plugin

In this repository I have performed some experiments with the Maven Release Plugin. Usually, this plugin is used to create a Git tag for every release.

In addition, I would like it to also create a branch that starts at the tag.

      1.5.0 (tag)
      |
------*---- master (branch) --------
      \
       \--- release-1.5 (branch) ---
