Windows path length limitations can be overcome by feeding an absolute path to
SVN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SCM-368
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-368
Project: Maven SCM
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: maven-scm-api
Affects Versions: 1.0
Environment: Any Windows machine
Reporter: Kurt Tometich
Priority: Minor
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:
