The last few days, i have tried to configure the Maven Release Plugin for a release with git. I have setup a test project for it and I have tried so much configurations that i don't know how to display them all to you... In every case the maven release plugin use only the branch im on. If i start the MRP on master branch it create the tag on it and if im on develop branch it creates every thing there. My actual pom looks like this:

<project>
...
<scm>
    <connection>scm:git:file://D:\Dev\gitremotetest\testpp</connection>
    <developerConnection>scm:git:file://D:\Dev\gitremotetest\testpp</developerConnection>
    <tag>HEAD</tag>
</scm>
...
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.3</version>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.scm</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-scm-provider-gitexe</artifactId>
                    <version>1.9.5</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
            <configuration>
                <branchName>develop</branchName>
                <pushChanges>false</pushChanges>
                <localCheckout>true</localCheckout>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>
...
</project>

I have searched a lot of websites and i cant find a complete configuration of the MRP with git. The outcome should be, that the develop branch is Pre-Release Version 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT and Post-Release Version 0.0.2-SNAPSHOT. The Master branch should contain Prerelease version 0.0.0 and Post-Release Version 0.0.1.

This is the verbose Maven output:

My problem is, that the maven release plugin has so much configuration tags, but no documentation for git. + I never worked with svn and im new to Git.

A solution for my problem would be good, a good usage article for maven release plugin with git would be the best.

EDIT 1:@khmarbaise: This is the git output w´hen i make a mvn release:prepare and an release:perform (including the changes from khmarbaises first comment.

Git output after first comment of khmarbaise

The dark blue SO commit markes a release started from master branch, the light blue from develop.

The pom after changes:

My target outcome is:

start the release from develop commit the tag with the release version to master branch and commit the next development version to the develop branch. (I think this should be a common outcome for a release)

EDIT 2: @CptS: If i start a jgitflow:start-release i get this Info:

[INFO] --- jgitflow-maven-plugin:1.0-m5.1:release-start (default-cli) @ testb ---
[WARNING] ..oo00 ---- WARNING ---- 00oo..
[WARNING] core.autocrlf is set to true but is NOT supported by JGit or JGitFlow!
[WARNING] 00oo.. you have been warned 00oo..

And the Corp i work for uses this setting.

EDIT 3: I have choosen the JGitFlow Plugin for my usage. (Under 1 minute to configure and use.)

I usually use mvn release:prepare followed by mvn release:perform this allows me to move from a snapshot to a final version etc..
