I don't recall how to do what you are looking for, directly with CVS, but cvs2cl tends to make the aggregation and then trimming to what you want a lot easier. http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/
I would suggest cvs2cl.pl --tags --branches --revisions as the set of options to begin with. Even when this disclaimer is not here: I am not a contracting officer. I do not have authority to make or modify the terms of any contract. > -----Original Message----- > From: info-cvs [mailto:info-cvs-bounces+todd.denniston=navy....@nongnu.org] > On Behalf Of Rob Lauer > Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2016 10:16 AM > To: info-cvs@nongnu.org > Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Log messages by date > > Strange issues...trying to filter log messages by date but I seem to get > all of the files in the project instead of just the files where the log > message has changed since a given date and user.
