Description

I'm trying to use a Jenkins pipeline to release a library and I'm getting this error:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.3:perform (default-cli) on project XXXXXXX: could not perform a local checkout

As far I identify the problem in fact is beacuse the workDirectory has an "@" in the project base dir (/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/xxxxxx@2/) because I'm running the job in an agent into another agent, but, I was also able to reproduce it on Windows machine moving my project base dir to a directory with @ in the path name.
