Ovidiu Feodorov commented on SCM-368:
-------------------------------------
Just an observation, I found cases when cygwin svn fails with absolute cygwin
paths, if those paths are specified in a --targets file. More details about
these cases here:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/200907.mbox/%3c4a4cd0fb.7070...@novaordis.com%3e
I'd suggest making using relative paths configurable from pom.

> 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. Here is a link to the forum where I found this
