Michael Osipov commented on MSCMPUB-70:
---------------------------------------
>From a theoretical point of an SCM could support selective, sparse checkouts.
>Subversion supports sparse ones. Subversion can update single files, not the
>entire WC. As long as we cannot prove that it does not work with an abstract
>SCM approach, I think we can improve the parameter docs to say that the
>implementation/supports depends on the SCM system.
> Remove include/exclude parameters

> Key: MSCMPUB-70
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSCMPUB-70
> Project: Maven SCM Publish Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major

> The {{publish-scm}} goal has an
> 1. {{includes}}

> 2. {{excludes}}

> parameter which are passed as {{FileSet}}

> to either
> {{ScmProvider.checkout(...)}} or {{ScmProvider.update(...)}}.
> I have quickly checked the implementation of SVN and Git and it seems that
> only the basedir of the {{ScmFileSet}} is ever considered for checkout and
> update.
> For the actual commit (delete, add or update) they are not used at all.
> So to me it seems that those parameters never have any effect and should be
> removed.
