<a href="http://www.cvshome.org/" target="_top">CVS</a> repository.</p>

<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>  &lt;cvs cvsRoot=&quot;:pserver:anoncvs@jakarta.apache.org:/home/cvspublic&quot;
       package=&quot;jakarta-tools&quot;
       dest=&quot;${ws.dir}&quot;
  /&gt;</pre>
<p>checks out the package/module &quot;jakarta-tools&quot; from the CVS
repository pointed to by the cvsRoot attribute, and stores the files in &quot;${ws.dir}&quot;.</p>
<pre>  &lt;cvs dest=&quot;${ws.dir}&quot; command=&quot;update&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>updates the package/module that has previously been checked out into
&quot;${ws.dir}&quot;.</p>
<pre>  &lt;cvs command=&quot;-q diff -u -N&quot; output=&quot;patch.txt&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>silently (-q) creates a file called patch.txt which contains a unified (-u) diff which includes new files added via &quot;cvs add&quot; (-N) and can be used as input to patch.</p>
<pre>  &lt;cvs command=&quot;update -A -d&quot;/&gt;</pre>
<p>Updates from the head of repository ignoring sticky bits (-A) and creating any new directories as necessary (-d).</p>
<p>Note: the text of the command is passed to cvs &quot;as-is&quot; so any cvs options should appear 
before the command, and any command options should appear after the command as in the diff example 
above. See <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/index.html" target="_top">the cvs manual</a> for details, 
specifically the <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html" target="_top">Guide to CVS commands</a></p>
