Sometimes called "change sets".

If the problem reporting tool is Bugzilla, then you may find cvszilla to be
useful:

http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/~tonyg

It contains a Perl script, that can be run from loginfo, that passes loginfo
(name of file, old and new version, log message) to  the Bugzilla record for the
bug cited in the log message.

If you're not using Bugzilla, you still may want to view cvszilla as one example
of interfacing CVS with a problem tracker.
