SYNOPSIS

; 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

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTIONS

release_branch

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'.

Please note I do not expect to be gittip'ed or flattr'ed for this work, rather it is simply a very pleasant surprise. I largely create and release works like this because I need them or I find it enjoyable; however, don't let that stop you if you feel like it ;)

Flattr, Gratipay, or indulge my Amazon Wishlist... If and *only* if you so desire.
