| <h2><a name="cvstagdiff">CvsTagDiff</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>Generates an XML-formatted report file of the changes between two tags or dates recorded in a |
| <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/" target="_top">CVS</a> repository. </p> |
| <p><b>Important:</b> This task needs "cvs" on the path. If it isn't, you will get |
| an error (such as error 2 on windows). If <cvs> doesn't work, try to execute cvs.exe |
| from the command line in the target directory in which you are working. |

| <h3>Examples</h3> |
| <pre> <cvstagdiff cvsRoot=":pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic" |
| destfile="tagdiff.xml" |
| package="ant" |
| startTag="ANT_14" |
| endTag="ANT_141" |
| /></pre> |
| |
| <p>Generates a tagdiff report for all the changes that have been made |
| in the <code>ant</code> module between the tags <code>ANT_14</code> and <code>ANT_141</code>. |
| It writes these changes into the file <code>tagdiff.xml</code>.</p> |
| |
| <pre> <cvstagdiff |
| destfile="tagdiff.xml" |
| package="ant" |
| startDate="2002-01-01" |
| endDate="2002-31-01" |
| /></pre> |
| |
| <p>Generates a tagdiff report for all the changes that have been made |
| in the <code>ant</code> module in january 2002. In this example <code>cvsRoot</code> |
| has not been set. The current <code>cvsRoot</code> will be used (assuming the build is started |
| from a folder stored in <code>cvs</code>. |
| It writes these changes into the file <code>tagdiff.xml</code>.</p> |
| |
| <pre> <cvstagdiff |
| destfile="tagdiff.xml" |
| package="ant jakarta-gump" |
| startDate="2003-01-01" |
| endDate="2003-31-01" |
| /></pre> |
| |
| <p>Generates a tagdiff report for all the changes that have been made |
| in the <code>ant</code> and <code>jakarta-gump</code> modules in january 2003. |
| In this example <code>cvsRoot</code> |
| has not been set. The current <code>cvsRoot</code> will be used (assuming the build is started |
| from a folder stored in <code>cvs</code>. |
| It writes these changes into the file <code>tagdiff.xml</code>.</p> |
| |
| <h4>Generate Report</h4> |
| <p>Ant includes a basic XSLT stylesheet that you can use to generate |
| a HTML report based on the xml output. The following example illustrates |
| how to generate a HTML report from the XML report.</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| <style in="tagdiff.xml" |
| out="tagdiff.html" |
| style="${ant.home}/etc/tagdiff.xsl"> |
| <param name="title" expression="Ant Diff"/> |
| <param name="module" expression="ant"/> |
| <param name="cvsweb" expression="http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/"/> |
| </style> |
| </pre> |
| |
| <h4>Output</h4> |
| <p> |
| The cvsroot and package attributes of the tagdiff element are new in ant 1.6.<br> |
| Notes on entry attributes : |
| <table border="1"> |
| <tr><th>Attribute</th><th>Comment</th></tr> |
| <tr><td>name</td><td>when reporting on one package, the package name is removed from the output</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>revision</td><td>supplied for files which exist at the end of the reporting period</td></tr> |
| <tr><td>prevrevision</td><td>supplied for files which exist at the beginning of the reporting period.<br> |
| Old CVS servers do not supply it for deleted files. CVS 1.12.2 supplies it.</td></tr> |
