How do I get a list of commit comments from CVS since last tagged version?

Question

I have made a bunch of changes to a number of files in a project. Every commit (usually at the file level) was accompanied by a comment of what was changed.

Is there a way to get a list from CVS of these comments on changes since the last tagged version?

Bonus if I can do this via the eclipse CVS plugin.

UPDATE: I'd love to accept an answer here, but unfortunately none of the answers are what I am looking for. Frankly I don' think it is actually possible, which is a pity really as this could be a great way to create a change list between versions (Assuming all commits are made at a sensible granularity and contain meaningful comments).

Answer 1

I think

cvs -q log -SN -rtag1:::tag2 

or

 cvs -q log -SN -dfromdate<todate  

will do what you want. This lists all the versions and comments for all changes made between the two tags or dates, only for files that have changed. In the tag case, the three colons exclude the comments for the first tag. See cvs -H log for more information.

Answer 2

The options for the cvs log command are available here. Specifically, to get all the commits since a specific tag (lets call it VERSION_1_0)

cvs log -rVERSION_1_0:

If your goal is to have a command that works without having to know the name of the last tag I believe you will need to write a script that grabs the log for the current branch, parses through to find the tag, then issues the log command against that tag, but I migrated everything off of CVS quite a while ago, so my memory might be a bit rusty.
