[jira] [Commented] (SCM-797) Fix for windows command line length limitation

    SCM-797: Workaround for Windows command line length limitation

    As suggested by PLXUTILS-107 and implemented by gwt-maven-plugin, it is
    possible to avoid the Windows command line length limitation by invoking
    the executable directly instead of via a shell. This commit adapts the
    gwt-maven-plugin implementation to supply a fake Shell in Windows
    environments in order to invoke the Git executable directly.

> Hello,
> I noticed that for a project with a large amount of pom files the prepare command of the release plugin fails when it tries to git add all of the poms.
> The failure happens because the SCM plugin attempts to git add all of the files at once which fails on Windows machines due to the command line length limitation.
> I have written a small fix and created a pull request
> https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/pull/30
> Basicaly, with the fix, the command git add iterates on all files rather than adding them in one command. The fix was already present in the code in 
> the GitAddCommand.java. However there was one more place in the code with the bug.
