We gave up on using the task for VC++ (7.1) projects. The dependency analysis just doesn't seem to match devenv so we may have a header file or a resource that changes that should force a recompile but doesn't. Also, one of the advantages of the task is that you don't have to have VS.NET inst

I would suggest you use 'svn info' command to get the revision. In fact, you may not want the current revision of the repository but actually the last revision that the directory was changed. Svn Info will give you that information. How about this: http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc3/nant.
