Saving the bandwidth is definetely a good thing. I'm wondering if it is possible to avoid downloading a complete log file on each run. I imagine
that if you saved the login in ~/.statcvs along with a timestamp, and use a cvs log -D on the next run you could just combine the resulting
log ("delta") with the old log to get complete information, saving a lot
of bandwidth and server's procecssing time.
I've just realized that this is more complex than I thought. You can't combine cvs log output by concatenating. To take advantage of that the
revision information would have to be stored in a processed from, to
faciliate reading it, combining and storing again. There are various
options ranging from serialized Java objects through XML to a relational
database, with XML looking the most promising IMO.
