Samuel Kerrien commented on MRELEASE-146: ----------------------------------------- I have had the same problem and making sure that Windows' subversion was upstream of cygwin in the PATH did the trick. Hope that helps ;) > Release tag with SVN under Cygwin fails when sending the svn command a bad > absolute path > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-146 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-146 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: scm > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-4 > Environment: Windows XP > Reporter: Christian Gruber > > When release:prepare is invoked, on a cygwin system using svn provided with > cygwin, the following error occurs. > [INFO] Checking in modified POMs... > [INFO] Executing: svn --non-interactive commit --file > E:\DOCUME~1\CGRUBE~1.DJI\LOCALS~1\Temp\maven-scm-1141263545.commit > E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/pom.xml > [INFO] Working directory: E:\projects\israfil-fw\net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4 > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE > [INFO] > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > [INFO] Unable to commit files > Provider message: > The svn command failed. > Command output: > svn: > '/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4' > is not a working copy > ... > SVN on cygwin interprets > E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/pom.xml to be > /projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4/E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4, > essentially appending the absolute path on the current working driectory as > if it were a relative path. > This is very odd, since "svn <command> > E:/projects/israfil-fw/net.israfil.foundation-JDK1.4" works like a charm.
