How do I get the history of commits that have been made to the repository for a particular user?
I am able to access CVS either through the command line or TortioseCVS, so a solution using either method is sufficient.
The history database You can use the history file (see section The history file) to log various CVS actions. To retrieve the information from the history file, use the cvs history command (see section history--Show status of files and users).
The cvs log command displays information about files, directories, or modules. You pass a parameter to specify which file, directory, or module you are interested in. If you don't specify anything, cvs log displays log information about all files in the current sandbox directory.
As a coder, I am mostly interested in commit changes, (as opposed to tagging, branching, etc), so I usually include the -c
commit option as well:
cvs history -c -u username
