Several options (shown above as `-report') control what
kind of report is generated:
-c
- Report on each time commit was used (i.e., each time
the repository was modified).
-e
- Everything (all record types); equivalent to specifying
`-xMACFROGWUT'.
-m module
- Report on a particular module. (You can meaningfully
use `-m' more than once on the command line.)
-o
- Report on checked-out modules.
-T
- Report on all tags.
-x type
- Extract a particular set of record types type from the CVS
history. The types are indicated by single letters,
which you may specify in combination.
Certain commands have a single record type:
F
- release
O
- checkout
T
- rtag
One of four record types may result from an update:
C
- A merge was necessary but collisions were
detected (requiring manual merging).
G
- A merge was necessary and it succeeded.
U
- A working file was copied from the repository.
W
- The working copy of a file was deleted during
update (because it was gone from the repository).
One of three record types results from commit:
A
- A file was added for the first time.
M
- A file was modified.
R
- A file was removed.
The options shown as `-flags' constrain or expand
the report without requiring option arguments:
-a
- Show data for all users (the default is to show data
only for the user executing
history).
-l
- Show last modification only.
-w
- Show only the records for modifications done from the
same working directory where
history is
executing.
The options shown as `-options args' constrain the report
based on an argument:
-b str
- Show data back to a record containing the string
str in either the module name, the file name, or
the repository path.
-D date
- Show data since date. This is slightly different
from the normal use of `-D date', which
selects the newest revision older than date.
-p repository
- Show data for a particular source repository (you
can specify several `-p' options on the same command
line).
-r rev
- Show records referring to revisions since the revision
or tag named rev appears in individual RCS
files. Each RCS file is searched for the revision or
tag.
-t tag
- Show records since tag tag was last added to the the
history file. This differs from the `-r' flag
above in that it reads only the history file, not the
RCS files, and is much faster.
-u name
- Show records for user name.
