For example:

 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.commons:commons-release-plugin:1.5-SNAPSHOT:stage-distributions (stage-distributions) on project commons-vfs2-distribution: Failed to add files to SCM: The svn command failed. [svn: warning: W150002: 'C:\temp\rc\commons-vfs2-project-2.3-rc1\commons-vfs2-distribution\target\commons-release-plugin\scm\binaries' is already under version control
 [ERROR] svn: warning: W150002: 'C:\temp\rc\commons-vfs2-project-2.3-rc1\commons-vfs2-distribution\target\commons-release-plugin\scm\source' is already under version control
 [ERROR] svn: E200009: Could not add all targets because some targets are already versioned
 [ERROR] svn: E200009: Illegal target for the requested operation

Either delete the empty folder before the svn operation or find a way to make svn behave.
