CVS Output


Developer Issues:

CVS Log -r Without this patch, there is no way to show log entries corresponding to changes from tag "foo" to tag "bar" ("cvs log -rfoo:bar" doesn't cut it, because it erroneously shows the changes associated with the change from the revision before foo to foo). This patch adds a "cvs log -rfoo::bar" syntax with the correct behavior.

Here's a fairly detailed report concerning "cvs log -r" on a branch.

Brief Status Display

This patch provides a brief status display (generally similar functionality as "cvs -nq update").

Annotate

Here is a patch so that CVS annotate looks both forward and backward, rather than just backward.

Here is a bugfix to prevent an "internal error" message in certain cases.
