The <cvs> task uses the standard cvs command-line client to do it's work, so it also has the same limitations as that tool. Cvs itself won't allow relative paths with ../ in an update command. Try it out on any cvs tree you've got laying around: stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cvs up ../Makefile.am protocol error: `..' has too many .. Absolute paths will apparently also fail: stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> export foo=$PWD stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> cd - /home/stephan/cvs/qub/lib stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cvs up $foo/Makefile.am absolute pathname `/home/stephan/cvs/qub' illegal for server stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub/lib> cd .. stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> cvs up $foo/Makefile.am absolute pathname `/home/stephan/cvs/qub' illegal for server stephan@cheyenne:~/cvs/qub> echo $foo /home/stephan/cvs/qub ----- stephan Generic Unix Computer Guy [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.einsurance.de Office: +49 (89) 552 92 862 Handy: +49 (179) 211 97 67 "...control is a degree of inhibition, and a system which is perfectly inhibited is completely frozen." -- Alan W.
