forced checkin or checkout using NANT

Question

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is anyway that NANT would do a force checkout from source control or force checkin even if there is newver version in source control.

Urgent help required

Answer 1

I not an nant guy, but could you explain what is the purpose of it?

Forcing checkin automatically looks to me like a bad idea - if I modified file by mistake I don't want it to be automatically checking without my innervation.

Answer 2

I assume you want to circumvent the normal CruiseControl.Net checkout mechanism? You will have to execute the source control command line yourself, or use something like NAntcontrib.

Please specify what source control engine are you using.

Answer 3

If you were using a CruiseControl.NET source control block then you could specify cleanCopy="true" to delete the working copy before updating the source.
