Re: using cvs log like cvs log -d "24 hours ago"

[Pradeep . K]

Hi,
cvs log -S -d "24 hours ago <"
works fine for me. It gave me the log of changes made 24 hours ago on the
CVS repository.
Thank you

cvs log does not work as I expect, but it can be made to give what you
want.
try
cvs log -S -d "24 hours ago <"

the -S "Do not print name/header if no revisions selected."
and the < indicates I want changes after the specified date, and we leave
the up to date unspecified so cvs fills it in with NOW.

cvs log --help
is a little confusing, I had to go to an old email I answered to get this
trick.
        -d dates        A semicolon-separated list of dates
                        (D1<D2 for range, D for latest before).
perhaps a better output would be
        -d dates        A semicolon-separated list of dates, or
                        D1<D2 for a date range, or D< for changes since D,
or
                        D Select the single, latest revision dated D or
earlier.
