Teach them to use "cvs log" (and even "cvs rlog" now).
Either that or teach them to use GNU-style "ChangeLog" files (which is
really trivial with some tools)....
You could also use "rcs2log" as part of your release process too,
depending on exactly when/where such log files are desired.
There is no way to "fix" $Log. It is broken by design.
