-------------------------------------------------------------
No feedback after 4 years now... Is maven-scm a dead project?
How does maven update an svn repo after it is checked out? Not at all? Is there
a pattern and I am just not seeing how to use the API properly?

> I want to update a subversion with maven-scm.
> Therefore I get the ScmManager via Plexus and then do this:
> {code}
> ScmManager.makeProviderScmRepository("svn", new File(path/to/checkout));
> {code}
> What I get is:
> {noformat}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: repository cannot be null

> {noformat}
> From what I understand the code tries to execute "svn info" to get the
> repository URL.
> However executing a command always checks that the repository is not {{null}}.
> In this case the svn command should be executed in order to be able to create
> the repository.
> It is not possible to create the repository before, because the URL is not
> known.
> My suggestion is to revisit this block in AbstractCommand:
> {code}
> if ( repository == null )
> {
> throw new NullPointerException( "repository cannot be null" );
> }
> {code}
