Close, but not quite. That won't display the file name. Change the
command to:

cvs rlog . | egrep "(RCS file|issue number)" | grep -B1 "issue number" |
grep "RCS file"

Notes:
1) that this should be all one command - ignore any line wrapping that
may occur.
2) "issue number" is a placeholder for your actual issue number.
