Hello, <cvstagdiff> is a wrapper around cvs diff command. The task just takes the output of that command and transforms it to XML format.
You can see the actual cvs command by running the script in verbose mode. You can that run the cvs command yourself and observe its output in the cases you describe below. If there is a difference between the results given by the task and by the command - that there is an Ant problem. Regards Ivan P.S. I am really curious myself about the output in the case of space-delimited list of modules as "mobile/jsp mobile/config". I used <cvstagdiff> to generate a list of chaged files between two releases but I used ant-contrib's <for> in case of multiple modules. --- "Scott, Brian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello friends - > > I'm experiencing some very strange behavior when > specifying multiple values in the package > definition.
