Thread: more cvs problems

OK, I figured out how to get a log of all changes from 7.0 to the branch
split:
cvs log -r REL7_0 -r REL7_0_PATCHES .  

Now, I need a list of log entries just in the REL7_0_PATCHES branch made
after the branch was split.  I tried:
cvs log -d '>2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT' -r REL7_0_PATCHES .

but I got entries like:date: 2000/05/29 05:44:24;  author: tgl;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -27Generated header files
parse.hand fmgroids.h are now copied into thesrc/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.Also,
cleanup some bit rot in contrib tree.
 

which is only in the current tree.  Any ideas, folks?  I feel like a
pretty big idiot here that I can not figure out how to do it.

This does not work.  It only gets changes since REL7_0PATCHES was
created.

OK, thanks, I got it working with:
cvs log -d'2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT<2000-05-29 00:00:00 GMT'cvs log -d'>2000-05-29 00:00:00 GMT' -rREL7_0_PATCHES

The first gets all change up to the branch, the second gets stuff after
the branch.  I am working on 7.0.1 release packaging now.  Sorry for the
delay.  I am just CVS messed up.
