Search CVS commit for a substring

[sandeepk1611]

Hi,

I would like to retrieve the commit information ( the names of files
committed, commit message, date, etc.) with a substring in the commit text.
For example, if a commit message has the text "Bug #122345", can I use the
string "122345" in some command like log, etc. and get the list of files
committed(added, removed, changed) for this commit?

I would really appreciate any help on this

Thanks,
Sandeep

As a start, try checking that out as it seems to address the issue you
want to resolve... or maybe some of the other hits like:

IIRC (because it has been a long time since I used cvs2cl to search this way ...)

cd my/sandbox
cvs2cl -r -t -R 122345 -b --lines-modified --summary \
--no-hide-branch-additions --show-dead

I think the above line will show pretty much everything. I normally only use -r -t and sometimes
--summary.


cvs2cl --help #for all the options
