Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Example

Checkout NAnt.

    
<cvs-checkout 
    destination="c:\src\nant\" 
    cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant" 
    module="nant" />
    
  

Checkout NAnt revision named 0_85 to the folder c:\src\nant\v0.85.

    
<cvs-checkout 
    destination="c:\src\nant" 
    cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant" 
    module="nant"
    revision="0_85"
    overridedir="v0.85" />
    
  

So the nant module tagged with revision 0_85 will be checked out in the folder v0.85 under the working/ destination directory.
This could be used to work on different branches of a repository at the same time.

Checkout NAnt with specified revision date to the folder c:\src\nant\2003_08_16.

    
<cvs-checkout 
    destination="c:\src\nant\" 
    cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant" 
    module="nant"
    date="2003/08/16"
    overridedir="2003_08_16" />
