That only gives you the log messages for those two specific revisions,
not all the log messages for changes between the two tags.  The way to
do it is to download the current development version of CVS and then do:

        cvs log -rrel-tag-n::rel-tag-n+1

(Some versions of CVS prior to the current development version will
accept that syntax, but they'll include the log message from rel-tag-n
in the output which you don't really want.)
