<cvs>

This task gives you the ability within your Ant project to access a cvs repository, thus allowing you to automate version control tasks. It provides the capacity to use any valid cvs command, therefore you could use it to perform tasks such as tagging a release, pulling out a particular set of files, and generally maintaining a consistent way of doing these tasks throughout a project.

The prerequisite to using this task is to have cvs installed. You can get an installation from http://www.cvshome.org if you don’t have one. Type cvs at the command prompt or terminal to see whether it is recognized.
