#### Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

#### Example

Checkout NAnt.

    <cvs-checkout
        destination="c:\src\nant\"
        cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant"
        module="nant" />

Checkout NAnt revision named `0_85` to the folder `c:\src\nant\v0.85`.

    <cvs-checkout
        destination="c:\src\nant"
        cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant"
        module="nant"
        revision="0_85"
        overridedir="v0.85" />

So the nant module tagged with revision 0_85 will be checked out in the folder v0.85 under the working/ destination directory.
This could be used to work on different branches of a repository at the same time.

Checkout NAnt with specified revision date to the folder `c:\src\nant\2003_08_16`.

    <cvs-checkout
        destination="c:\src\nant\"
        cvsroot=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant"
        module="nant"
        date="2003/08/16"
        overridedir="2003_08_16" />
