Make it possible to pay attention to .cvsrc
--------------------------------------------
Key: MPSCM-74
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPSCM-74
Project: maven-scm-plugin
Type: Bug
Versions: 1.5
Reporter: Matthew Beermann
Fix For: 1.6
There ought to be a way to tell the SCM plugin to obey the .cvsrc file. Here's
why:
I've had developers complain about empty directories showing up in their jar
endstates. Simple, I thought - just add "checkout -P" to my .cvsrc file. But,
if I'm reading
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/maven/scm/trunk/maven-scm-providers/maven-scm-provider-cvs/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/scm/provider/cvslib/command/checkout/CvsCheckOutCommand.java?view=markup
correctly, the plugin will always ignore the .cvsrc file since it always
specifies the "-f" flag and doesn't allow arbitrary flags to be passed in.
I can understand the reasoning behind this behavior - there are certainly CVS
flags that would make Maven very unhappy - but there's also something to be
said for giving people enough rope to hang themselves with. All sorts of
important/useful settings (like compression) could be in their .cvsrc too. In
my case, at least, I don't see any other way to get it done.
