Using ant to add directories to CVS

How do I add a new directory into my CVS repository using Ant? From all that I've read, it appears that I have to cd to the parent directory and call the cvs command. How do I do that in Ant? I've seen approaches where an to cd is called in Ant; is that the best approach?

Eg of what I am trying to do: Let's say I have a module Test_Module with directories "A", "B" and "C". Under each of these directories, there are directories for "Jan", "June", "Sept" and I want to create a "Alpha" directory under Test_Module-> C -> Sept.

So, I create a "Alpha" directory on my local system and run the cvs add command from Root and I get the following errror: cvs add: in directory .: cvs [add aborted]: there is no vers开发者_高级运维ion here; do 'cvs checkout' first

I get the same error when I run this using Ant or from command line.

Now, if I cd to the Test_Module/C/Sept directory and run "cvs add Alpha" it creates the directory and everything is fine. So, how do I do the same in Ant? Are there any ant-contrib tasks that are out there that I could possibly use or even a built-in ant task that I am missing?

Thanks in Advance!!

did you look at the Ant CVS task?

I haven't used CVS for a while but since it's possible to manage a Subversion repository with Ant, I guess there should be no problem to do it for CVS
