Summary: CVS task breaks on project names containing spaces
Product: Ant
Version: 1.6.2
Platform: Macintosh
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core tasks
AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
ReportedBy: matt.hilliard@shaw.ca
Someone cleverly decided that the project attribute should split the project into multiple projects with the
space character, completely disregarding CVS's ability use spaces in its project names.
When trying to access projects with a name containing a space character, this task becomes useless as it
splits the project name into multiple project names and provides no way of escaping the space character.

Do I detect some sarcasm there?
It looks more like (in AbstractCVSTask.configureCommandline() that the package
is being split, perhaps into a series of packages.
if (cvsPackage != null) {
c.createArgument().setLine(cvsPackage);
}
This may be by design, though if it is so, it should be documented with
examples. I note that the method does the same for CVSROOT:
if (cvsRoot != null) {
c.createArgument(true).setLine("-d" + cvsRoot);
}
Again, some more people will need to look at this to decide if its a bug or if
we are being "clever".
Now, have you tried escaping your package with single or double quotes (whatever
you are not using for your package:
package="'spaces in directories'"
The parsing logic should pick that up and treat it as a single thing.

I don't think anybody tried to be clever, the code is simply wrong and setValues
was intended.
This leaves us with a backwards compatibility problem. While I don't think we
need to think about the cvsRoot attribute for too long, but people may have
abused the package attribute "feature".
Add a new attribute or even a nested element?
