Hi, I encountered the following issue using 'scm:checkin' command. The environment is Windows. SCM CVS provider version is 1.0-beta-4.
The 'scm:checkin' is translated in a cvs command, displayed on standard output which is the following: [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-scm-plugin:1.0-beta-4:checkin' --> [DEBUG] (f) basedir = C:\myProjDIR [DEBUG] (f) connectionType = developerConnection [DEBUG] (s) connectionUrl = scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/localdisk/user_data/cvs/repository:PROJ_MODUL E [DEBUG] (f) developerConnectionUrl = scm:cvs:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/localdisk/user_data/cvs/repository:PROJ_MODUL E [DEBUG] (f) excludes = **/target/* [DEBUG] (f) includes = pom.xml,**/pom.xml [DEBUG] (f) message = commit modified POM [DEBUG] (f) password = ... [DEBUG] (f) settings = [EMAIL PROTECTED] [DEBUG] (f) username = user [DEBUG] (s) workingDirectory = C:\myProjDIR [DEBUG] -- end configuration -- [INFO] [scm:checkin] [INFO] Executing: cvs -z3 -f -t -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/localdisk/user_data/cvs/repository -q commit -R -F D:\Profiles\gumichel\LOCALS~1\Temp\scm-commit-message51181.txt pom.xml I thought (perhaps here is the mistake) that -f added by Mojo standed for '-f' commit: force commit event if file is unchanged. This the behavior I expected. If this is the case, '-f' option should be after 'commit' keyword. Befor 'commit' keyword it is another -f meaning. It should be: [INFO] Executing: cvs -z3 -t -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/localdisk/user_data/cvs/repository -q commit -R -F D:\Profiles\gumichel\LOCALS~1\Temp\scm-commit-message51181.txt -f pom.xml Is this a bug or a misunderstanding (from me) of scm:checkin behavior ? Any answer will be appreciated. Best regards. Guillaume.
