cvs rlog revision range operator (::) doesn't show log messages from newly added files

[Samuel Mikes]

I have included an sh script below that demonstrates the problem in a
scratch repository.  The relevant part of the script output is:

cvs rlog: Logging test
cvs rlog: warning: no revision `r1' in 
`/home/smikes/scratch/root/test/newfile,v'

Instead I would expect to see the commit message for that file.

I see this problem in both 1.11.2 and 1.11.6.

When the :: operator was introduced, I believe that the behavior was
to include files in the log if the file was added between the start
tag and end tag.  That's what it seems to say on this page:

 http://www.cvshome.org/dev/patches/log

Excerpt:
  File exists in V1      File exists in V2          Should log
----------------------------------------------------------------
        yes                     yes                     yes
        yes                     no (Attic)              yes *
        no (not created)        yes (added)             yes
        no (Attic)              yes (resurrected)       yes
        no (Attic)              no (Attic)              no +

If that was the case, then is it possible that this behavior changed
in Jan 2002 when issue 40 "cvs log -r <version> should not display
unless tag is found" was fixed?
