Looking for design documentation for Wagon & ScmWagon

["Anthony B. Coates" <ab...@idmm.co.uk>]

Hi.  I posted this previously to the Maven Developers List, but things are  
extremely busy there in the lead up to the beta-3 release.  If anyone here  
can help me understand how the Maven SCM Wagon is designed, I would be  
extremely grateful.  Thanks, Cheers, Tony.

Hi.  I'm trying to understand how the SCM Wagon is intended to work, but
it isn't sufficiently obvious to me from scanning the Java source.  Is
there any design documentation anywhere that anyone can point me to?

As much as I understand, Maven's habit of embedding version numbers into
JAR filenames in repositories is related to the limitations of file and
HTTP implementations of Wagon.  To convince my enterprise clients to use
Maven, I need to be able to tell them that for SCM-based Maven
repositories, the JAR filenames are version free, and the version is
instead determined via a tag/label.  However, I can't quickly determine
whether this is the case or not.

Can anyone give me any pointers?  Thanks very much in advance,

Cheers, Tony.
