RE: List all files that have changed between to tags?

[Teala Spitzbarth]

The most straightforward way is to use the rdiff command

        cvs rdiff -s -r green -r rel-1-1 <MODULENAME>

This gives you a listing of all files that changed between the two tags,
and the beginning and ending revisions for those files.

If you want log information (i.e. commit comments for every commit made
between the two tags) then you need to use log or rlog - though the
development version of cvs is required to get fixes to log to get
correct output.  Also the syntax of -rTAG1:TAG2 doesn't give you exactly
the same listing of changes "between" the tags, it includes the
revisions on the tags. This is clip from an email from Larry Jones and I
about how to get the right stuff out of log:

The current development version also has a tag1::tag2 syntax that's
exclusive, but it doesn't do quite what you want since it excludes tag2
as well as tag1.  You can always do "-r tag1::tag2 -r tag2", though.

Subject: List all files that have changed between to tags?


I have a branch that has two tags...  How do I list all of the files
that have changed between the to tags on that branch?

Example:

I have a branch with tags:

green
rel-1-1

How do I list all of the files that have changed between those tags?
I do not want to know what changed in the files, just what files
changed?

Any help would be great.  :-)
