ARGH! I will have to smack myself around for missing that :)
However, what it winds up doing is deleting all the files in the CVS
directory, but not the directory itself. I can't seem to get it to do that.
I tried adding a second task in that target:
<delete dir="**/CVS/*"/>
But that didn't work. I also tried using a dirset instead of a fileset,
but delete apparanetly doesn't support nested dirsets.
I delete directories in build scripts all the time, but it's always
specific single directories, I've never tried to delete a series of
directories from a tree using wildcards, so I'm a bit stumped. First
I'm stumped at why the original script didn't delete the directory as
well, and second why that additional delete task didn't do it either
(it'd be better if I didn't need the second delete obviously).

Hmm, I certainly understand what you wrote (didn't know about that
before, but makes perfect sense), but it doesn't seem to have helped.
My complete script is now:
<project name="None" default="removecvs" basedir="." >
<target name="removecvs">
<defaultexcludes remove="**/CVS"/>
<defaultexcludes remove="**/CVS/**"/>
<delete includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset dir="." includes="**/cvs/*"/>
</delete>
</target>
</project>
Any ideas? Thanks Jeff!

<defaultexcludes remove="**/CVS"/>
