Description

The clearcase provider has no support for creating releases in branches, i.e. user defined config specs.

mvn release:perform

fails with the message "Building on a label not supported with user-specified config specs". Release:prepare does it's job just fine, and release:perform creates the clearcase label, updates the pom etc, but fails to create a new view that it can build from. This shouldn't be too hard to implement given that a temporary config spec could look like:

element * MY_LABEL
load \project1
load \project2
...

Given that the load rules are copied from the originating config spec.
