Repository Path

Repository path is used to refer to file in SCM systems. Example repository urls for different SCM systems:

Subversion : the path is relative to Subversion root, WITH a leading "/".
```
/my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```
Since the path is relative to Subversion root, above value will remain unchanged whether the checkout url defined in a Subversion repository is svn://localhost/my-app or svn://localhost/my-app/trunk.

CVS : the path is relative to the CVS root, WITHOUT the leading "/"
```
my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```
Since the path is relative to the CVS root, above value will remain unchanged whether the checkout module defined in a CVS repository is my-app or my-app/trunk

Perforce : the path should be an absolute path in the Perforce server, including the depot part
```
//depot1/my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```

Visual SourceSafe : the path is an absolute path in sourcesafe database, starting with "$/"
```
$/my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```
Since the path is relative to the sourcesafe root, above value will remain unchanged whether the checkout project defined in a VSS repository is $/my-app* or *$ /my-app/trunk.

Accurev : the path is relative to the depot root, WITHOUT the leading "/"
```
my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```

ClearCase : the path is an absolute path in ClearCase, including the vob part:
```
/vob1/my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```

StarTeam : the path is relative to the view root, WITHOUT the leading "/"
```
my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```
Since the path is relative to the view root, above value will remain unchanged whether the source path defined in a StarTeam repository is my-app or my-app/trunk

Git : the path is relative to git repository root, WITHOUT the leading "/"
```
my-app/trunk/pom.xml
```

Mercurial : the path is relative to repository root, WITHOUT the leading "/"
