Description

Using maven 3.3.3

Here is the scm part of my project:

<scm>
    <connection>scm:javasvn:http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</connection>
    <developerConnection>scm:javasvn:http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</developerConnection>
    <url>http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</url>
</scm>

I run:

mvn release:branch -DbranchName=myBranch

It creates successfully the branch here:

http://url.com/repo/myProject/branches/myBranch

But when I look into the pom.xml of this branch, the "scm" part remains the same as the trunk:

<scm>
    <connection>scm:javasvn:http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</connection>
    <developerConnection>scm:javasvn:http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</developerConnection>
    <url>http://url.com/repo/myProject/trunk</url>
</scm>

Documentation:

Transform the SCM information in the POM to include the final destination of the tag

So why the pom.xml of my branch isn't transformed?
