Yes there is a way.  (FishEye generates charts/graphs of this I
think.)  But it is probably non-trivial and there is most definitely
no "cvs howmanyfileschangedbetweentwodates" command.  You'd probably
have to create a script that parses "cvs log -D" output.

Usually this information is used by managers to determine churn. 
Bigger churn (more files/lines changed) means bigger risk.  That's one
use.
