According to the usage of 'cvs history':
        -r <rev/tag>    Since rev or tag(looks inside RCS files)
That is what I want, give me all commits since -r S8PHASE1 was branched.

What is the 'different meaning' of -r option with 'cvs history'?


> Use the log command.

I want to run the following command to see if it would get the report I
was not able to get using 'cvs history'
        cvs log -R -rS8PHASE1 -s <state>
but could not find different possible values for <state> in CVS documentation.

What is the equivalent 'cvs log' command I can try?
