I don't think the canonical path is causing the problem, but it's just
revealing it.
I'm not completely sure I understand the code and how it _should_ be
working, but as far as I can see:
1) The files in the `ScmFileSet` passed into the two methods at actual
runtime seem to be absolute, so using them with the ScmFileSet's `basedir`
doesn't seem to make sense?
2) All the tests seem to set the `basedir` to '.' and then pass in a
separate `workingDirectory` or `workingDir`, which it self seems to be relative
(e.g. "baz/qux").
3) I guess this breaks _less_ in linux as
`/home/me/project/home/me/project/pom.xml` is still a valid file path (though
it would be pointing to a wrong place, of course).
I'm not sure if the bug is that the method doesn't handle absolute paths
(before my change), or that the paths of the files are absolute. I think that
the latter would be a bug somewhere else in the containing/calling maven
modules (maven release plugin, etc).
How to I create a patch? Do I just commit my changes through SVN?
I can write a Junit test that breaks without my change, but works with... Or
should I just add another test method to the `PerforceEditCommandTest` and
`PerforceCheckInCommandTest`?

> Environment: Windows 7 both command prompt and cygwin using Perforce
> for SCM
> Reporter: Robert Scholte
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Priority: Major

> When running
> {{mvn release:prepare -Dusername=<perforce_user>
> -Dpassword=<perforce_password>}}
> I get the errors:
> * java.io.IOException: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax
> is incorrect
> * [ERROR] CommandLineException Exit code: 1 - Usage: add/edit/delete [-c

> -> [Help 1]
> The full output is attached.
> Sometimes I also get the error:
> * [ERROR] D:\Server\pom.xml - file(s) not in client view.
> Though I created the client in the same location I'm running from, and I'm
> not sure that error is related to the others (as the others also occur when
> that one doesn't).
> It's been suggested (on stackoverflow:
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10999403/maven-releaseprepare-ioexception)
> that the error has to do with my D drive being a mapped drive, though I don't
> think it is as it's not listed if I run {{subst}}. However, I think it _must_
> be at least a partition on the same hard drive, unless my PC has three
> physical drives :P (work PC), but I guess that shouldn't make any difference
> to the program?
