Duplicate target execution

I'm using Ant 1.7.0 (on Windows Vista) with Java 1.5.0_12.

I'm having a problem where the same target in an ant script gets executed 
multiple times.  Using this tiny script
as an example:

<project name="proj" basedir=".">
  <target name="build">
    <echo message="Building" />
  </target>
  <target name="deploy" depends="build" >
    <echo message="Deploying" />
  </target>
</project>

When I run:
ant build deploy

I get the following output:
Buildfile: testBuild.xml

build:
     [echo] Building

build:
     [echo] Building

deploy:
     [echo] Deploying

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

I thought ant was supposed to take care of duplicate targets.  Is this a bug 
or an intentional change (I always thought
it only executed tasks once).?

Your command line is running each target in turn. If you use
ant deploy build

You should see
Building
Deploying
Building

I think the command line you want is
ant deploy
