I primary use it to track users. eg: cvs history -u userName -x o
how ever is should be easy to get very granular with the command
using a combo of -m, u, x and d.
You might consider Karl Fogel's book on cvs. it's a good book and has
examples and example output of lots of stuff and imho beats the heck out
of the Cederqvist. But of course the Cederqvist is more of a ref manual...
Anyway the book is "Open Source Development with CVS" by Karl Fogel ISBN:
1-57610-490-7
good luck
Greg.
