history--Show status of files and users
=======================================

   * Synopsis:     history [-report] [-flags] [-options args] [files...]

   * Requires: the file `$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history'

   * Changes: nothing.

   CVS can keep a history file that tracks each use of the `checkout',
`commit', `rtag', `update', and `release' commands.  You can use
`history' to display this information in various formats.

   Logging must be enabled by creating the file
`$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history'.

   *Warning:* `history' uses `-f', `-l', `-n', and `-p' in ways that
conflict with the normal use inside CVS (Note: Common options).
