Well, I recommend using maven rather than ant.  In any case I hope that 
if you check in external jar files you use copies whose file name 
includes an accurate version number.  In my experience this is the only 
way with ant based builds to be able to find out what versions of the 
checked in jar files you are actually using.

I think that subversion recognizes jar files as binary and doens't 
produce diffs of them.

thanks
