Description

VSS Provider fails during check out if project path contains a space. For example, using the following SCM URL:

scm:vss|guest@\\someserver\somefolder|/top path

This results in the following output:

Executing: "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vss\win32\ss" Get "$/project root" -Yguest -R -I- -GWR
Working directory: c:\temp\fiddler
Provider message:
The vss command failed.
Command output:
'c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

java.lang.Exception: Command failed.The vss command failed.

at com.goongo.vssscmtest.MyTest.main(MyTest.java:29)
Exception in thread "main" 

This appears to be due to a bug in plexus-utils-1.1. If this dependency is updated to v1.4 (or later) this error is fixed.

Therefore, resolution is to update dependency in pom.xml of maven-scm project.
