According to the ANT documentation, it should be able to accept a space =
delimited list of modules but I have seen this is not the case.

Beginning of file ...

Sure enough, it diffs the entire list of modules, but when you look at =
the cvs_diff.xml file, it's usually void of entries. So I trimmed it =
down to one module. And it worked. Then I tried it with two files, with =
two seperate cvstagdiff entries. Guess what? It replaces the file each =
time. Why is this? Why bother allowing cvstagdiff the ability to diff =
multiple packages if it just replaces instead of appends?
=20
Now my config is twice as large as it needs to be because it has to run =
a seperate cvstagdiff for each package and has to write to a dozen =
different files.

Any ideas around this?

Thanks,
David
