Well, yeah, but I was trying to get at the expectations. The wagon-scm thing adds the target to the end of the repo, which, as has been pointed out, only works for subversion. *I'm* not the one doing it! > AFAIK, the release plugin does not call putDirectory.

I'm still boggled that wagons don't seem to be configurable. I'll take a closer look at the API javadocs. Again, I think there should be more site docs for wagons.
