Release tag with SVN under Cygwin fails when sending the svn command a bad
absolute path
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-146
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-146
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4
Environment: Windows XP
Reporter: Christian Gruber
When release:prepare is invoked, on a cygwin system using svn provided with
cygwin, the following error occurs.
[INFO] Checking in modified POMs...
[INFO] Executing: svn --non-interactive commit --file
E:\DOCUME~1\CGRUBE~1.DJI\LOCALS~1\Temp\maven-scm-1141263545.commit

Provider message:
The svn command failed.
Command output:
svn:
'/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4'
is not a working copy
...
SVN on cygwin interprets
E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/pom.xml to be
/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4,
essentially appending the absolute path on the current working driectory as if
it were a relative path.
This is very odd, since "svn <command>
E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4" works like a charm. I
tried it with E: and e: to no avail.
Proposed solution: Use relative paths
Alternative - really really bad alternative: detect the presence of cygwin and
re-structure the file path to use /cygdrive/e/blah/blah format.
Ultimate remedy: Figure out why SVN is interpreting this way and fix in svn.
