------------------------------------
jira-importer opened a new issue, #696:
URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/issues/696
**[Ovidiu

opened
**[SCM-481](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-481?redirect=false)** and
commented
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.
