Description

The "maven-scm-provider-perforce" plugin currently does not support branching,

e.g. if "mvn release:branch" is attempted, the following errors ensue:

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] An error is occurred in the branch process: No such command 'branch'.
...
Caused by: org.apache.maven.scm.NoSuchCommandScmException: No such command 'branch'.
at org.apache.maven.scm.provider.AbstractScmProvider.branch(AbstractScmProvider.java:190)

The ability to use this functionality would be very useful to us.
