List all the files checked-in in a single cvs commit

Question

Generally,our fixes/patches for any bugs involves changes in multiple files and we will commit all these files in a single shot.

In SVN, for each commit (may involve mul

OK, I just installed cvsps and ran it from the top level. Here's a sample of the output... this is one of the few hundred patch sets on my module. Note that indeed this does work across different directory trees.

Check the length of strings in messages. Namely:

  * Logical server IDs cannot be more than 18 characters (forcing a
    TCSE protocol requirement).                                    
  * Overall 'sid' (filter) search string length cannot be more than
    500 (this is actually more than the technical maximum messages are
    allowed, but is close).                                           

Alarm messages and are now not going to crash either as the alarm text
is shortened if necessary by the LCA.

So, this may indeed do what you want. Nice one, Joakim. However, as mentioned, CVSzilla does much more than this:

• Web-browsable CVS repositories (via CVSweb).
• Web-browsable transactions.
• Supports transactions across modules.
• Generates CVS commands (using 'cvs -j') to merge patchsets onto other branches.
• Integration with bugzilla (transactions are automatically registered against bugs).

If all you want is just the patchset info, go with cvsps. If you're looking to use CVS on large projects over a long period of time and are thinking about using bugzilla for your bug-tracking, then I would suggest looking into CVSzilla.
