Henry S. Isidro commented on WAGON-42:
--------------------------------------

I am wondering if it is a good idea to place this functionality in wagon-scm or should it go higher like in maven-scm-api?

> I have a deep path in windows, plus a repository housed in svn.
> When performing a 'mvn compile', it fails with not finding the artifact.
> Using mvn --debug shows no error message from wagon-scm (svn).
> If I go into the target/checkout/.... directory, i see an empty directory with the '.svn' working directory.
> performing a 'svn update .' in that directory reveals the reason ...

> $ svn update .
> svn: Can't open file '.svn/text-base/maven-repository-indexer-1.0-20060418.201022-1.jar.md5.svn-base': File name too long
> I think a general "if windows, and path exceeds maximum, throw error before attempting process' kind of functionality needs to exist.
