Here's some more targets that I found handy. We name our tags with XXXX_FFFFF_NNN where NNN is a number that increases. This looks up the last tag, you can do a next-tag with will increment it, and then a remove last tag. (If it botches it,)

<macrodef name="sed">
<attribute name="searchString"/>
<attribute name="pattern"/>
<attribute name="dir" default=""/>
<attribute name="resultProperty" default=""/>
<sequential>
<echo>"echo @{searchString} | sed -e @{pattern}"</echo>
<ac:if>
<ac:equals arg1="" arg2="@{resultProperty}"/>
<ac:then>
<exec executable="/bin/sh" dir="@{dir}">
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="echo "@{searchString}" | sed -e "@{pattern}""/>
</exec>
</ac:then>
<ac:else>
<exec executable="/bin/sh" dir="@{dir}" outputproperty="@{resultProperty}">
<arg value="-c"/>
<arg value="echo "@{searchString}" | sed -e "@{pattern}""/>
</exec>
</ac:else>
</ac:if>
</sequential>
</macrodef>

<target name="last-tag">
<echo>Fetching the last tag in this branch.</echo>
<git command="describe">
<args>
<arg value="--abbrev=0"/>
<arg value="--tags"/>
</args>

<sed searchstring="${last_tag}" pattern="s/$.*[^0-9]$$[0-9]\+$[^0-9]*$/\1/" resultproperty="project_name"/>

I have followed your post and executed like below, but it is throwing an exception like below:

C:\Users\Haritha\Desktop\H2H\conf\build.xml:23:
The directory C:\Users\Haritha\Desktop\H2H\conf\https:\github.com\libgit2\libgit2.git
does not exist ,

am sending input https:\github.com\libgit2\libgit2.git but windows path is getting added, how to solve this issue

</project>

Very nice example!

Nice Macros. Really helpful. I however, am not getting the output from git when I do git clone something.

Like remote: counting Objects, etc. etc.

Is it possible to redirect output from git to console, just so that we can see if there is some progress here, and is not stuck somewhere.

You know you've written a good post if 3 years later, google lists it in its top search results.

from our limited experiencing, adding the following attribute makes for "least surprising" builds:
    <macrodef name="git">
     ...
      <attribute name="failonerror" default="false"/>
     </macrodef>

Most times I dont care if the git command fails or succeeds, but sometimes I want it to "fail noisily", e.g. if ant can't fetch/merge from git:

I have thrown together something similar, a macro for figuring out the revision and whether the working copy is clean:

I am able to use svn checkout from commandline from a url. But the same task when i add in my ant build file, the build file fails telling me that the url@HEAD does not exist.

Nice post!

My two cents:
- What if you need to authenticate with the remote repository? There is no parameter to do that - and that would not be secure anyway. A SSH agent would work but only if the server authorizes your public key. At the very least, you could have Ant ask input from the user, but that prevents unattended runs.
- An Ant task would either call the git executable, with all the issues that it implies (differences between platforms, availability of the executable, etc.), or it could use the only Java (partial) implementation of git I'm aware of at this time: egit.
- Some CI programs (Hudson, Cruise Control) have a git plugin. Since they're open source, it might be worth a look... My guess is that they simply call the executable.

is there going to be an appstore / cydia / installer app with your wifi-acelerometer transmittance thing? That looks really cool, and I am sure people would appreciate it. I certainly would, there's nothing like this around yet!! Been looking a while, though.

Thanks,
