I would have said that this would be better achieved by using a fileset and adding foreach support for filesets:
Fileset "subdirs"
excludes CVS
includes directories
Foreach item="fileset" in="subdirs" property="foldername"
...
This way we use the standard way of building up lists of files/directories.
Just me two english pence.

Subject: [nant-dev] NAnt & CVS Directories
Hi all,
To recursively build all my subprojects, I've
written a task like this:
<foreach item="Folder" in="." property="foldername">
<nant buildfile="${foldername}/default.build"
target="${project.config} ${target}/>
</foreach>
That works fine until I don't import my project
into CVS... After importing a project into CVS,
each project's subdirectory contains a CVS directory
which doesn't contain a build file, and the task
above fails...
A workaround would be to add failonerror="false" to the
<nant> task, but in that way it would be difficult to
notice if a subproject fails (that is really true for
big projects with lots of subprojects).
So, I think either we have to add a property to the
<foreach> task in order to be able to discriminate
the CVS directories
<foreach item="Folder" in="." property="foldername" exclude="CVS">
<nant buildfile="${foldername}/default.build"
target="${project.config} ${target}" failonerror="false"/>
</foreach>
or NAnt should automatically ignore CVS directories.
What do you think about that?
PS: I apologise if I always send emails in HTML format: the problem
is that here at T-System the standard mail client is Outlook, and
even if I configured it to send out emails in plain text, Outlook
still send them as HTML documents (that doesn't occur when I send
you emails from my Linux machine at Agamura).
