You can already extract the same info with pure Ant, as shown below,
so maybe this snippet should just be put in the FAQ.
Maybe a more generic <cvsinfo> or <cvsstatus> task, which would possibly
recurse a tree and check things could go into Ant. --DD
PS: Doesn't recurse, and just assumes a per-module sticky tag.
PPS: <loadfile> requires the 'srcfile' to exists. Adding failonerror
false and setting a property to HEAD allows to always sets the
tag property, whether CVS/Tag exists or not.
PPPS: Actually, you get back Ttagname, not tagname ;-)
<loadfile property="module" srcfile="${head}/CVS/Repository">
<filterchain>
<striplinebreaks/>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
<loadfile property="tag" srcfile="${branch}/CVS/Tag">
<filterchain>
<striplinebreaks/>
</filterchain>
</loadfile>
