NAME

CVSps - create patchset information from CVS  

SYNOPSIS

cvsps [-x] [-u] [-z <fuzz>] [-s <patchset>] [-a <author>] [-f <file>] [-d <date1> [-d <date2>]] [-b <branch>] [-v] [-h]  

DESCRIPTION

CVSps is a program for generating 'patchset' information from a CVS repository. A patchset in this case is defined as a set of changes made to a collection of files, and all committed at the same time (using a single 'cvs commit' command). This information is valuable to seeing the big picture of the evolution of a cvs project. While cvs tracks revision information, it is often difficult to see what changes were committed  

OPTIONS

-x
ignore (and rebuild) CVS/cvsps.cache file
-u
update CVS/cvsps.cache file
-z <fuzz>
set the timestamp fuzz factor for identifying patch sets
-s <patchset>
generate a diff for a given patchset
-a <author>
restrict output to patchsets created by author
-f <file>
restrict output to patchsets involving file
-d <date1> -d <date2>
if just one date specified, show revisions newer than date1. If two dates specified, show revisions between two dates.
-b <branch>
restrict output to patchsets affecting history of branch
-v

-h

BUGS

Updating the cache (with the -u flag) may not work perfectly in all cases. I haven't tracked it down completely.
