> Running scm:branch without a branch name results in the misleading error:
> {noformat}
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] Cannot run branch command :
> Embedded error: Exception while executing SCM command.
> Missing parameter: 'branchName'.
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> {noformat}
> The actual branch name parameter is called 'branch', but the error message
> complains about a missing 'branchName' parameter. This is due to the
> discrepancy between scm command and mojo parameter names.
> A good fix would be to mark the branch name mojo parameter as required, since
> the goal is pretty useless without it. This gives a better error message:
> {noformat}
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] BUILD ERROR
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> [INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for
> 'scm:branch'
> [0] Inside the definition for plugin 'maven-scm-plugin' specify the following:
> <configuration>
> ...
> <branch>VALUE</branch>
> </configuration>
> -OR-
> on the command line, specify: '-Dbranch=VALUE'
> [INFO]
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
> {noformat}
