I tracking the development of libpfm and pfmon via the cvs repositories.
One of the things that was nice in packages such as GCC, GDB, OProfile,
and other open source software was to have the ChangeLog record what
changed On could just look at the ChangeLog file and see what what files
one might need to look at more closely. This file would be automatically
downloaded when doing a "cvs -d -P" on the code.
Kevin's suggestion of cvsps was useful. That returns the information
information that I am interested in: what is checked in together.
What does cvs -d -P exactly do?
"cvs -d -P" in the cvs directory for the package does a update of the
current directory and the children directories (-d) and prunes the empty
files (-P).
There is a comment in the libpfm mentioning that this will no long be
updated:

This file will not be updated anymore, Refer to
SF.net CVS log for diff information
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.
How does one get a view of the group of files checked in together for
some change? That was the nice thing about having the ChangeLog, one
entry listed all the files that were checked in together. How does one
get a similar view with the SF.net CVS log?
If there is enough complaints about this, then I'll revisit my decision!
I wasn't complaining. :) I just wanted to make sure there was a easy way
to get get the equivalent information to the old ChangeLog. The "cvs
log" slices things up and doesn't give the information in a convienent
format. It gives the information on a per file basis.
