You should investigate cvs2cl, http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/ .
It runs "cvs log" and collates the output in reverse chronological
order across all files.

Yes !  Do exactly that.  Commit all the changes related to bug 1234,
all at once.  When you later run cvs2cl, the resulting ChangeLog
file show you all the files affected by that commit.

The other thing you can do is tag milestones, even if only for
documentation purposes.  Run "cvs2cl -t" put the tags in the
ChangeLog.
