Ant: Getting Source Code From CVS Repositories

Overview When one works in teams, one has to coordinate their efforts. That means discussing and planning, but even with the best of intentions, one can still end up with unintentional conflicts. One may have made some brilliant changes to the code, only to find them wiped out by mistake when another programmer uploads his own version of the same file. Source control helps prevent these problems by controlling access to code and by maintaining a history of the changes made so things aren't destroyed unintentionally. Storing a history of the code is powerful; one can compare a new (buggy) file against an older one, and one can revert to a previous version in case things have gone bad.
