Remember the CVS problems I had grabbing the logs from just one branch
of cvs?
Well, it turns out it is a cvs bug. CVS is fine with showing logs from
just a branch iff the file existed when the branch was created. For
post-branch files like pgsql/GNUmakefile.in, you see all changes.
I received e-mails from the cvs 'log' maintainer, which are attached.
He explained the problem and gave me a workaround. He is going to try
and get the bug fixed.
I have modified pgcvslog to show the workaround, and have attached the
output. Seems cvs2cl works around this problem somehow.
