Thanks for the feedback. After playing around persistently, I got it to work.
Please see below, either of the exec tasks work now:
<target name="stat"> <exec executable="cmd"> <!--<arg value="/c cvs -f
stat | grep "Repository revision" | gawk '{print
$4 " " $3}'"/>--> <arg value="/c cvs -f stat |
grep "Repository revision" | gawk '{print $4 " " $3}'"/>
</exec> </target>
