I tried out the Netbeans javacvs library. I was able without too much difficulty to write a unit test that ran the library using a command line pattern.
I was able to run the log command and get back the information I expected. However, at this point I am a little bogged down in trying to make the CvsChangeLogGenerator work with the library.. Mostly my unfamiliarity with streams etc! However, if the Netbeans library's CPL license is compatible with the Apache license, then this code base seems acceptable. The cvslib.jar is only 645kb, big, but not huge!
