Henning Schmiedehausen commented on MRELEASE-979:
-------------------------------------------------

So you are saying that it is intentional that there is no code path to move the 
value of defaultTag to tag if it is a branch operation and you do not want to 
change this? 

Reality is that there is one naming policy for tags today, the one that uses a 
default tag name and/or the scmTagName formatter unless a tag is presented and 
there is another (no default, fail if no tag has been presented) for a branch. 
Until you can reconcile this, it is impossible for you to accomplish your goal. 
These two policies are distinguished by the branchOperation flag.

> The newly introduced VersionPolicy facility allows managing the development 
> and release versions of projects when releasing, branching and updating 
> versions.
> Most organizations will also have a policy around how branches and tags are 
> named (which often have to match specific versioning patterns). The current 
> VersionPolicy implementations do not allow this but it should be possible.
