Re: log message is not performing like expected (2nd copy - I made a mistake in the first one)

[Larry Lords]

Thank you for the clarification.  It has helped to a degree.

The server is running cvs 1.11.6 and the command I am entering is:

cvs log -rus-1-0-9-46:us-1-0-9-49 -b

If I enter a file name the command works as expected.  If I don't enter a file
name (I am trying to find all changes between two revisions), I get all
revisions of all files.  The output is very large but I can send it if
necessary.  Here is a sample for one file.  You will see that no revisions
should be displayed, but it displays all revisions.

Is the server running CVS 1.11.6, or just the client?  Older versions of
CVS would give you all of the revisions if either of the specified
revisions did not exist.  ("cvs version" should give you the version
numbers for both the client and the server.)  If that's not the problem,
it would be helpful to see the exact command you entered and the exact
results you got.
