Not possible to publish to two branches in one project

[ysb33r]

I have a use case where I push to to orphaned branches. Currently this is very hard in the way the plugin is authored. If would be nice is where is some way of adding additional grouping of tasks by convention i.e.

gitPublishSets.create 'foo'

and then configure

gitPublish {
  branch = 'pages'
}
gitPublishFoo {
  branch = 'foo'
}

and additional tasks are named gitPublishFooReset, gitPublishFooCopy etc.

Just to add, my current workaround is to add an additional subproject and then publish from there. The configuration in the subproject then has to be something like

gitPublish {
    repoUri = rootProject.gitPublish.repoUri

    branch = 'foo'

    contents {
        from "${rootProject.buildDir}/docs/foo", {
            // ...
        }
    }

    commitMessage = "Update FOO for ${project.version}"
}

Sure, so some way to configure multiple outputs. Maybe adding a NamedDomainObjectContainer that can cover the settings that are present on the current extension. Leave the existing settings as a proxy for configuring the main publication.

gitPublish {
  // normal top level options
  publications {
    main {
      // same as top level
    }
    foo {
      // options to apply to gitPublishFoo<task>
    }
  }
}

See the README for usage details. This is in 4.1.0-rc.1. Let me know if you have any feedback.

@ajoberstar Thank you. I have finally started using this. It works really well.
