**[David SPORN](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sporniket)** commented _This is a copy of my comment on the issue [MRELEASE-701](https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-701) _ Found the root cause : * **module :** maven-scm-provider-gitexe-1.9.2.jar * **package :** org.apache.maven.scm.provider.git.gitexe.command * **Class#function :** GitCommandLineUtils#addTarget( Commandline cl, List\<File> files ), around line 57 In this function, file names are processed to remove a common prefix, that is the path of the working directory : ``` public static void addTarget( Commandline cl, List<File> files ) { if ( files == null || files.isEmpty() ) { return; } final File workingDirectory = cl.getWorkingDirectory(); try { final String canonicalWorkingDirectory = workingDirectory.getCanonicalPath(); for ( File file : files ) { String relativeFile = file.getPath(); final String canonicalFile = file.getCanonicalPath(); if ( canonicalFile.startsWith( canonicalWorkingDirectory ) ) { // so we can omit the starting characters relativeFile = canonicalFile.substring( canonicalWorkingDirectory.length() ); if ( relativeFile.startsWith( File.separator ) ) { relativeFile = relativeFile.substring( File.separator.length() ); } } // no setFile() since this screws up the working directory! cl.createArg().setValue( relativeFile ); } } catch ( IOException ex ) { throw new IllegalArgumentException( "Could not get canonical paths for workingDirectory = " + workingDirectory + " or files=" + files, ex ); } } ``` This behaviour works well with a project organisation that follows maven convention, but in the case of a flat organisation and projects folder names being the name of the parent project + prefix, we get the observed result. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
