Great & thank you for your help. I already use the javasvn.jar files and svn ant tasks to do this and I had checked these jar files into each project locally to access them easier for repo transactions. However, I was asked to create my own top level build project and not to pollute the developers' projects with my build stuff. But since I know everyone has svn cli on their desk top, I'm testing to switch to ant exec to do this.

So then here's another question: Could I still use ant svn tasks cross-project wise? Let's say I touched the build.number file in 3 different & separate projects and since I'm pulling out all my build stuff out of their projects...I would like to be able to, from my master build project to make repository calls into their projects and check in the files.

Thanks

Mmh ... really  <arg value>?? Multiple options need a <arg line>
But here it would be better to use multiple <arg value>s
  <arg value="ci"/>
  <arg value="-m"/>
  <arg value="${commit.info}"/>
  <arg value="build.number"/>

Have you tried the available svn tasks? Mostly the tasks provided by the
svn team...
