VSS History

[Fejes Balazs <fb...@freemail.hu>]

I created a new task definition for Ant, that uses the 
Visual Sourcesafe History command to make a diff file for 
each daily build. I extended the MSVSS class.
You can set up the style of the output file, if you want to 
see the actual code changes, or just a summary, and the 
time frame of the diff (with the timstamp for example).
Is this something that would be useful for any of you?
I read the ant site about contributing code, and it is very 
descriptive about the whole voting process and everything, 
but I can't quite figure out what to do if I want to 
contribute this new taskdef.

Yes, I started that some time ago myself but never had the time to actually
finish it.

The common way (although not mentioned on the web-pages) would be to post
this with a tag "[SUBMIT]" and a short explanation of what it does to
ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org. Someone of the commiters will probably pick it
up and commit it if it "fits" and/or it will be discussed on the ant-dev.
