           Summary: You should be able to specify a particular revision
                    number with ant update.
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.x dev
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: build system
        AssignedTo: welker4kepler at gmail.com

The ant update command should optionally allow you to specify a revision:

ant update -Drev=12345

All the modules in the Kepler SVN repository should be updated to this revision
number. Optimally, if possible, modules in other SVN repositories would be
appropriately updated. (i.e. check the time of the revision in our repository
and retrieve the revision in the other repository that represents the last
check-in immediately before that revision -- maybe make this an option, since
this algorithm is certain to fail in certain situations -- however this option
would be very useful when you want to rollback to a certain point.
