Emmanuel Venisse commented on SCM-274:
--------------------------------------

ok, but the patch must be generic so other providers will can implement it too.

>                 Key: SCM-274
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-274
>             Project: Maven SCM
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: maven-scm-provider-svn
>            Reporter: Alexander Schwartz
>
> There is a non-standard, but common svn repository layout & tagging/branching convention: The repository has three top-level folders
>    /trunk
>    /branches
>    /tags
> If a module is tagged it is copied into to the tag base followed by the tag name and by the full module path.
> Example: Assume we would like to tag version 1.1.0 of the module org/sample/module1. We use the tag "org_sample_module1_20070118_1_1_0".
> After tagging the repo looks as follows.
>    /trunk
>         /org/sample/module1/pom.xml                        
>   /branches
>   /tags
>       /org_sample_module1_20070118_1_1_0/org/sample/module1/pom.xml
> (There are several good arguments for such an repository layout. 
> My main argument is that this layout communicates what is in a tag directory.)
> The following modifications are necessary to resolve this issue:
>   -- A new property "modulePath" is introduced. It contains the relative module path (here: "org/sample/module1").
>   -- Before the svn tag command is executed a series of scm mkdir commands is executed to create the parent directories.
> If this issue is accepted I am going to provide a patch.
