[jira] Commented: (SCM-201) Option to ignore checkout when checkoutDirectory exists

["Emmanuel Venisse (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-201?page=comments#action_65342 ] 

Emmanuel Venisse commented on SCM-201:
--------------------------------------

why don't you run something like this in a script:

if checkoutdir don't exists
    run scm:checkout
else
   run scm:update (or nothing)

I'm not really sure of the interest of this new parameter.

> I have a need to pull mulitple legacy source trees from various scm:url into my local directory and invoke antrun to work on those trees.
> So I use multiple executions of maven-scm-plugin:checkout to fetch the source at initialize phase, then invoke antrun to do the rest.
> The annoy thing for every build is that scm:checkout remove my source tree and then fetch the source.  This is the behavior we want
> for normal case.  However for my case the checkout is  a lengthy process.
> I would like to propose a new optiontion  param skipCheckoutIfExists, with default to false to checkout mojo.
> WDYT? skipCheckoutIfExists name sound acceptable?
