What does cvs -d -P exactly do?

Yes, I realize I was not doing a very good job at updateing the Changelog
for every modifications I made or received. Given that cvs commit forces me
to enter a description, I thought it would be fairly easy to pull
the information from CVS.
Here is one thing you can do when inside the CVS-pulled source tree:
$ cvs log '-d>060625' -N
This command dumps the log information for all modifications after 06/06/25.
This is not a short and concise as I'd like it to be. It may be possible
to write a script to present this better.

If there is enough complaints about this, then I'll revisit my decision!
