RE: cvs log (newbie)

[Bobby Rahman]

Hiya

When using cvs log filename does anyone know where this function is called 
from and when the actual log information is retrieved from.

I know it has something to do with loginfo file in cvsroot/CVSROOT
but cant see where it retrieves the log info from exactly.

Thanx

 Hiya
 
 When using cvs log filename does anyone know where this function is called 
 from and when the actual log information is retrieved from.

The function exists within CVS, and it retrieves the log information from
the file in the repository.
 
 I know it has something to do with loginfo file in cvsroot/CVSROOT
 but cant see where it retrieves the log info from exactly.

It has nothing to do with loginfo.  The loginfo file is there to
provide processing after commit.

OK, so now log into the server (if it isn't local), fire up your
favorite editor, and look at that file above.  You will find the
cvs log info directly in the file.  CVS just copies it out,
as far as I can tell offhand, without changing it in any way
(except to delete parts of it as requested by the options).

 Working file: login.php
 head: 1.2
 branch:
 locks: strict
 access list:
 symbolic names:
   arelease: 1.1.1.1
   avendor: 1.1.1

There is one oddity to notice here:  if you have a branch (like 
release_1), it will show up as something like 1.1.0.2 rather
than the more intuitive 1.1.2.
