A.14 log—Print out log information for files
-
Synopsis: log [options] [files…]
-
Requires: repository, working directory.
-
Changes: nothing.
Display log information for files. log used to
call the RCS utility rlog. Although this
is no longer true in the current sources, this history
determines the format of the output and the options,
which are not quite in the style of the other CVS
commands.
The output includes the location of the RCS file,
the head revision (the latest revision on the
trunk), all symbolic names (tags) and some other
things. For each revision, the revision number, the
author, the number of lines added/deleted and the log
message are printed. All times are displayed in
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). (Other parts of
CVS print times in the local timezone).
log uses `-R' in a way that conflicts
with the normal use inside CVS (see section Common command options).
