About cvs log I found in freashmeat a perl script which produce
stat from cvs log output (cvstat).

"These statistics are provided purely for interested developers, and
are not intended to reflect quality -or- quality of work done by any
given developer in CVS, merely to show activity of operations in the
CVS repository performed by all developers. If you want to use them to
motivate yourself, that's fine, but keep in mind that a bit of useful
work is more meaningful than a lot of useless work."
