Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::CheckFor::CorrectBranch - Check that you're on the correct branch before release

This document describes version 0.006 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::CheckFor::CorrectBranch - released November 14, 2012 as part of Dist-Zilla-PluginBundle-Git-CheckFor.

; in dist.ini
[Git::CheckFor::CorrectBranch]
; release_branch defaults to 'master'
release_branch = master
release_branch = stable
# on branch topic/geewhiz...
$ dzil release # ABENDs!
# ...and on branch master
$ dzil release # succeeds
# ...and on branch stable
$ dzil release # succeeds

This is a simple Dist::Zilla plugin to check that you are on the correct branch before allowing a release... Its reason for existance is to prevent accidental releases being cut from topic branches: which are in general not unrecoverable, but annoying, messy, and (sometimes) embarrassing.

This is the name of the branch it is legal to release from: it defaults to 'master'. Multiple branches may be specified; you may want to allow 'master' and 'stable'.
