Here is a possible extension of the svn-settings.xml. Overview: Since SCM goals are generalisations of many version control provider's commands, that enforces some limitation in using any of the extra parameters of the underlaying command line tool. It would be ideal, that at the configuration level of all SCM specific Mojos to be able to set extra parameters to the underlaying version control command, but that somewhat distroys the generalisation itself. Instead, there are the provider specific ???-settings.xml files where there is nice to have such a possibility to set extra parameters for any goals we consider useful to have open this possibility.
Example: In my case I really need to be able to set some additional parameters to svn status command. Such as "-uv > svnstatus.txt". In this way I am able to obtain much more information than it is returned by the SvnStatusConsumer. Moreover, I am able to prepare that intrinsic information right to be packaged into my assembly. Otherwise there is no possibility to extract such information from maven-scm plugin families. Proposal: 1. Add extra parameters to svn-settings.mdo, such as statusExtraParams, listExtraParams,.. with the following pattern: <goal>ExtraParams 2. All of these new svn-settings parameters to be added to the end of the corresponding Svn????Command. Has to be examined exactly which goals deserve to have such an extra parametrizing, without distroying the functionality of the associated consumer implementation. First, I think that those goals whose consumer output plays a role mainly in the maven output console, just printing some status information, or lists. Maybe there is worth to have such an extension possibility to a more active family of goals like add, branch, checkin, checkout. What do you think? THE PATCH (as a prototype only): I made and attached to this email a patch only to have statusExtraParams, only for status goal. I tested it with the following settings.xml <svn-settings> <statusExtraParams>-uv > svnstatus.txt</statusExtraParams> </svn-settings> and I obtained the svnstatus.txt exactly as I would like to have on each maven project while building a subset of maven projects. I would like to have such a possibility to extend the provider's commands. That's why I raise the question to a discussion if it fit in scope of the maven-scm-provider-svn project? If seems to be acceptable, that let's discuss which other goals needs to extend to have a somewhat complete feature implemented. If so, I will help you by sending further patches. This patch mainly is only a prototype. I tested whithout junit testing.
