The rinfo program can display a list of version numbers between two given
versions. It accomodates removed revisions, branches, and magic branches,
which complicate the computation. And its output is easily scanned by a
script. Running this program and piping its output to "tail -2 | head -1"
and clipping out the appropriate field from the resulting line gives you
what you want.
You can find the rinfo sources at http://www.wakawaka.com/source.html

I am trying to customize some change reports we generate using the CVS tools
available in Ant - which basically means I can execute any arbitrary CVS
command line.
The reports can already determine what revisions of each file were committed
between 2 dates - using a log command. What I would like to do is report the
previous revision number which is not easily obtained from the output from
the log command. Is there a way from the log output to determine the
previous revision number for any of the revisions committed in the log ouput
for a single file? Or alternatively is there a known algorithm, that given a
CVS revision number, can determine what the previous revision number was?
