Well, I've just tested as the plugin has been released, and I still meet the
problem. Here what I do :
1. cd c:\a\very\long\paht\under\windows\xp\or\windows\2000
2. mvn scm:checkout -DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:http://myUrlHere
--> It says
[INFO] Executing: cmd.exe /X /C "svn --non-interactive checkout
http://myUrlHere checkout"
[INFO] Working directory:
c:\a\very\long\paht\under\windows\xp\or\windows\2000
[ERROR] Provider message:
[ERROR] The svn command failed.
[ERROR] Command output:
[ERROR] svn: Your .svn/tmp directory may be missing or corrupt; run 'svn
cleanup' and try again
svn: Can't open file 'checkout\blabla....svn-base': Le chemin d'accès
spécifié est introuvable.
3. If I execute svn --non-interactive checkout http://myUrlHere
c:\a\very\long\paht\under\windows\xp\or\windows\2000\checkout : it works.
Can you look at this please ?
PS : my test was done by using the release plugin. It failed for the same
reason, then I tested directly the scm plugin.

> When calling Subversion with relative paths there is a limit of 255
> characters to the path length. If you call Subversion with an absolute path
> that no longer applies and you now have access to 32K chars. I have tried
> this myself and it does work. Try feeding SVN a path that is relative and is
> over 255 chars. It will not be able to complete the transaction. Now, try
> to the same path again only as an absolute path and it will successfully
> complete the transaction. Here is a link to the forum where I found this
> information: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.4/firstrun/.
