RE: bug / enhancement regarding cvs log

[Navin Daryanani]

Sorry I don't mean to bug anybody - but I just checked out a version of ccvs
and tried to build it from sources and wanted to checkout the feature I
needed. I don't seem to get the right results. I mean when I do a log of a
range of revisions I still get a log of a ver old file which was not
modified in that revision range.

I tried looking thru the sources to see if I can quickly see if there is an
option or something else - but couldn't locate it. Can you pls tell me what
option do I have to use (If you are aware of it).

FYI: Currently I am solving my problem by a small perl script I wrote which
does a cvs history and greps all commits and then builds a file(s) list -
which I pass to the cvs log command eventually. It is not a very clean
method bec' the history command's options on revision tag and log command's
revision tags are different. So I was just hoping if I could find an
alternative soln. Maybe start working on it too - if it has not been started
yet :-)

thanks & regards
navin

I believe this is fixed in the current development version of CVS.
