On the contrary, I think it says exactly what it does: If the property
named 'foo' exists (ie., if(foo), ie., if 'foo' is set, which is the only
way a property can exist). If it were if='${foo}' and didn't care about
the value being true/false, then it might be confusing, but the value
never comes into it, since the property isn't referenced that way, so I
think it's perfectly understandable without ever even knowing there -is-
any documentation, much less having to read it.

But it's not the "Exactly the same". To be the same, it'd have to be:
<cvs>
up -r 1.1 build.xml
<cvs/>
<cvs>
status foo.txt
<cvs/>
With yours:
<cvs>
up -r 1.1 build.xml
status foo.txt
<cvs/>
it's a hidden for-loop.

I just knew you were going to say that.
