[MRELEASE-604] release:branch should take the "commitByProject" parameter into account

• Type: Bug

Description

The release:prepare goal allows to adjust tagging to a flat directory layout by using the 'commitByProject=true' confiuration option: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/prepare-mojo.html#commitByProject
This way the release:perform will add every module into the release tag.

When using release:branch only the parent module is commited to the created branch. All sub-modules in the flat directory layout are ignored (or end up somewhere else?). The commitByProject option has no effect for branching.
