You should use a GNU version of tar to untar the ant source tree, if
you have downloaded this as a tar file.
- Ant does not preserve file permissions when a file is copied, moved or
archived. Use <chmod> to set permissions, and when creating a tar
archive, use the mode attribute of
<tarfileset> to set the permissions
in the tar file.
- Ant is not symbolic link aware in moves, deletes and when recursing
down a tree of directories to build up a list of files. Unexpected
things can happen.
