"cvs log" and "cvs history" is not the same. "cvs history" works without
the working directory, as it is repository-wide.
"cvs log" works on separate files. You need to have a "home" in the CVS
sense to address specific files.

This is a feature that should eventually be added "cvs export".
For now, use "cvs rdiff" against revision 0.
cvs -d your_cvs_root rdiff -r0 -s .
