Description

Hi,

I did a minimal test to reproduce and describe the issue:

I have a directory containing .* resources (for example ".svn") let's say C:\tmp\svn_checkout
I create a project with a minimal pom.xml :

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<groupId>test</groupId>
	<artifactId>test</artifactId>
	<name>test</name>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</project>

In the project I create a "target" directory
In the target directory I do "mklink /J svn_checkout C:\tmp\svn_checkout"
So I have

C:\testproject
C:\testproject\pom.xml
C:\testproject\target
C:\testproject\target\svn_checkout -> C:\tmp\svn_checkout

If I do "mvn clean" the target directory is deleted as expected, but also all my .svn directories under C:\tmp\svn_checkout
If I have other .* files (.project, .classpath) they are deleted too.

In the real life I have a custom maven plugin that creates an ear on my app server, and replaces the war files in it by junction to the war project I checkout from svn.
I add the ear in the list of directories to be "cleaned" (by adding a <fileset>), and I have all my .svn deleted on each clean.

Regards,

Laurent
