Description
SCM 1.2 generates a SVN target file (--targets c:\Users\ovidiu\AppData\Local\Temp\maven-scm-xxxxx-targets) that contains Windows absolute paths ("c:/work/playground/maven/release-plugin-experiments/pom.xml").
cygwin SVN fails to understand it:
[INFO] Unable to commit files
Provider message:
The svn command failed.
Command output:
svn:
'/cygdrive/c/work/playground/maven/release-plugin-experiments/C:' is
not a working copy
svn: Can't open file
'/cygdrive/c/work/playground/maven/release-plugin-experiments/C:/.svn/entries':
No such file or directory
Configuring Maven to use <useCygwinPath>true</useCygwinPath> as advised in http://maven.apache.org/scm/subversion.html has no effect. Even if SvnCommandLineUtils.addTarget() did use the flag and did generate a cygwin-compliant path, SVN would also fail with:
[INFO] Unable to commit files
Provider message:
The svn command failed.
Command output:
svn: '/cygdrive' is not a working copy
svn: Can't open file '/cygdrive/.svn/entries': No such file or directory
Solution 1: modify SvnCommandLineUtils.addTarget()'s signature to receive the working directory, and method's behavior to extract relative paths and write relative paths in the --target file.
Patch attached.
If Maven development team intends to apply the patch, I will also write extra test cases. All current tests pass.
Solution 2: A better solution would be to actually patch org.apache.maven.scm.ScmFileSet to maintain relative paths, as its contract advertises. It currently doesn't. If ScmFileSet is fixed to maintain correct state, then Solution 1 would be rendered obsolete.
I am also willing to implement a fix for Solution 2, if it is validated by the Maven development team.
Attached patch (relative to 1.2).
