This issue was migrated to [apache/maven-scm#589|https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/issues/589]. > Windows path length limitations can be overcome by feeding an absolute path > to SVN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-368 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-368 > Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues) > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: maven-scm-api > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Any Windows machine > Reporter: Kurt Tometich > Assignee: Emmanuel Venisse > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > > When calling Subversion with relative paths there is a limit of 255 > characters to the path length. If you call Subversion with an absolute path > that no longer applies and you now have access to 32K chars. I have tried > this myself and it does work. Try feeding SVN a path that is relative and is > over 255 chars. It will not be able to complete the transaction. Now, try > to the same path again only as an absolute path and it will successfully > complete the transaction.
