Hello Mark,
what you can do is run your cvs update using the exec task and use a
nested filterchain do capture output lines with a "U" [1]
and apply a regular expression to keep only the path of the file, then
save this output into a file.
The output file should contain a series of file relative paths in order
to be used as input for the includesfile attribute of a patternset.
Something like that (untested) :
<exec executable="cvs" failonerror="true" dir="somerootdir">
<arg value="update"/>
<redirector output="includelist.txt">
<outputfilterchain>
<tokenfilter>
<containsregex pattern="^ U " replace=""/>
</tokenfilter>
</outputfilterchain>
</redirector>
</exec>
<fileset dir="somerootdir">
<patternset includesfile="includelist.txt"/>
</fileset>
Otherwise you can write your own ant task and make this task create
either a patternset, a fileset, or a resource collection.
Regards,
Antoine

i'm using ant to build a project that has been checked out from cvs. i want
to run a task that uses a fileset of all files changed from cvs.
basically, i'm looking to run a source code formatter on the source files
and only want it to run on files that have changed from the version control.
thanks,
