We discussed this online already... it is very hard to do an "excludes"
without this happening. The best way to handle it would be to:
- just use the directory name when all children in the directory are
included
- for checkin, only pass files that are modified
- not allow excludes on some operations
I think there is already a bug in JIRA under SCM or MPSCM (if not, there
should be).
What are your thoughts?

Folks,
Most of maven-scm-api commands like checkin, add, tag, changelog has a
ScmFileSet argument which ultimately expands into a list of individual
files on a command line. The finally command line becomes very long,
huge, so huge
for a larget project (like my legacy project).
I know for sure, it will break on windows and could be on unixes.
May this is the main reason, why a number of implementations just
simply ignore the ScmFileSet, and goes for the default which
most SCM systems consider as ${basedir}
Any thought?
