ASF GitHub Bot commented on SCM-581: ------------------------------------ jira-importer opened a new issue, #793: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/issues/793 **[Andreas Sewe](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sewe)** opened **[SCM-581](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-581?redirect=false)** and commented AFAIK, Mercurial allows for URLs like `ssh://example.org//home/sewe/example-project/`. Unfortunately, the Mercurial SCM provider turns this into `hg push ssh://example.org/home/sewe/example-project/`, which fails if, e.g., the Mercurial server is configured to look for repositories in the user's home directory (may or may not be `/home/sewe`, depending on your login) **unless** an absolute path is explicitly requested by using a path starting with a double slash. --- **Affects:** 1.4 **Issue Links:** - [MNG-4966](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4966) Preserve double slashes in the scm connection url - identifies absolute repository paths for mercurial (_**"duplicates"**_) > URL mangling should preserve double slashes > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: SCM-581 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-581 > Project: Maven SCM (Moved to GitHub Issues) > Issue Type: Bug > Components: maven-scm-provider-mercurial (hg) > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Environment: Apache Maven 3.0 (r1004208; 2010-10-04 13:50:56+0200) > Java version: 1.6.0_20 > Reporter: Andreas Sewe > Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Priority: Major > > AFAIK, Mercurial allows for URLs like > {{ssh://example.org//home/sewe/example-project/}}.
