You could run a 'cvs log thefile.doc' prior to substituting and
comitting the doc. Of course, you have to make sure that no one else
is doing a commit to the same file while you do it, because the log
output might be outdated at the time the commit is performed. This
though can be done using the lock command (if you really need it).
