Forks are like turtles. It's forks all the way down. I opted to fork this fork of Ant-Contrib since I have a mind of my own of making some changes. Also, I'm unable to get access to the original site at sourceforge (firewall blocked.)
That's an inconvenience. So at the very least, I intend to build and have a release here, and if time allows, I'll add changes of my own and submit upstream.
This is a fork of the Ant Contrib project (http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/). At the time of the fork (October 2011) the project had been inactive for a number of years with developers citing lack of time to support it.
In the meantime, many user contributed patches and additions have been posted to SourceForge forums (https://sourceforge.net/p/ant-contrib/_list/tickets). A git fork seemed like a no brainer...
