Had the same issue to do a cvs checkout!!! Resorted to using <exec> as well.
(using ANT 1.4.1 on W2K).
For those interested, here are 3 targets that do a cvs update or checkout of
a known module from a know repository to a predefined location. Just uses
the result of a condition to do either a cvs update or a cvs checkout, with
the cvs checkout using <exec> since also needs to execute from another
directory than ${basedir}.
Hope someone fins this useful. --DD

Subject: CVS Task + add command
Is there any way to tell the CVS task where to execute from? I can only
do a CVS add with the exec Task because when I try to use the cvs task I
cannot specify the location to execute from. The cvs add command must
be fired from the location where the file exists (as far as I can tell).
Regards
