Description

running:
mvn release:branch -DbranchName=$/NNG/ORK/maven-branch-09

causes to:
tf branch D:\Dev\projects\NNG\ORK\dev\PLS -checkin $/NNG/ORK/maven-branch-10

and then we get an error: ‘TF10125: The path 'D:\Dev\projects\NNG\ORK\dev\PLS' must start with $/’

there is a problem with the ‘checkin’ statement. if I remove the "checkin" statement from the command (by commenting it out, in org.apache.maven.scm.provider.tfs.command.TfsBranchCommand), it is working OK. However, we do want to use ‘checkin’ because we want the new created branched to be checked in.
Conclusion: need to fix the TFS-provider (maven-scm), so it will use the path ($/...) instead of the path (d:/…). If we use '$/' path, it will work.
