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