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  show verbose parsing messages

-h  display usage summary

NOTE ON DATE FORMATS

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