Ricky Clarkson commented on MRELEASE-536:
-----------------------------------------
I found that the problem was triggered by msysgit (mingw) setting the current
working directory to c:\foo rather than C:\foo, and that launching mvn from cmd
instead of msysgit made the problem disappear. That said, if your patch solves
it, great stuff.

> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-536
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-536
> Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: prepare
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Matthias Vach
> Attachments: patchfile.patch
>
>
> The method getCommonBasedir in class
> org.apache.maven.shared.release.util.ReleaseUtil runs into the Exception:\\
> java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
> ... while comparing pathes with small and capital lettes for Windows drives.
> e.g.: C:\WoRkInG\root\project1 has no common base dir with
> c:\working\root\project2\\ but it should have c:\working\root as common base
> directory.
> A patch and a test for that bug is attached.
> I do have the problem with version 2.0 but I fixed it in trunk for now
> Regards Matthias
