need my Mojo to execute a CVS status command - help

[Pete <pe...@gmail.com>]

Could any of you guys help with the code I would need to put in my
MOJO to execute a cvs command. The command is

cvs status -v filename

which isn't supported by maven-scm-providers-cvs. I see there is a
AbstractCvsStatusCommand but this issues a cvs update  I believe.

Is there a way I can execute an arbitary CVS command using the api ?
If so how ?

All I really need is the result as a String so I could parse it.
What I'm trying to do is determine the most recent CVS Tag, so that I
could write a MOJO to get the next tag, and pass this to the scm:tag
goal.

output from 'cvs status -v filename'   is like
