Parameters

Attribute Type Description Required
branch string The name of the branch you want to create. True
repository string The full repository path. True
bylabel string Specifies which parent branch file versions are copied into the child branch. False
bytimestamp string Specifies which parent branch file versions are copied into the child branch. Format is yyyymmddhh:mm:ss. If bylabel attribute is specified, this parameter is ignored. False
comment string Specifies a comment for the branch operation. False
includeremoved bool Include removed files when creating a branch with the bylabel or bytimestamp option. The default is true. False
parent string The parent branch you want to create the new, child branch from. If not specified, the mainline branch is used. False
type string Specifies the type of branch you want to create. Possible values are workspace, baseline, or snapshot. The default is workspace. False
failonerror bool Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true. False
if bool If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
serverconnect string The address and port number of the Surround SCM server host computer. Format is server:port. If not entered, the last saved connection parameters are used. False
serverlogin string The username and password used to login to the Surround SCM server. Format is username:password. If not entered, the last saved login parameters are used. False
timeout int The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out. False
unless bool Opposite of if. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
verbose bool Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false. False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute Type Description Required
managed ManagedExecution Specifies whether the external program should be treated as a managed application, possibly forcing it to be executed under the currently targeted version of the CLR. False
useruntimeengine bool Deprecated. Specifies whether the external program is a managed application which should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false. False

Nested Elements:

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

When passed to an external application, the argument will be quoted when appropriate. This does not apply to the line parameter, which is always passed as is.

Parameters

AttributeTypeDescriptionRequired
dirdirectory The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory. False
filefile The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file. False
ifbool Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true. False
linestring List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is. False
path<path> The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use : or ; as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables. False
unlessbool Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false. False
valuestring A single command-line argument; can contain space characters. False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.
