I am usually happy with what cvs2cl gives me. I do however have a script
which does:
PREVIOUS_DATE="`ls -l --full-time $OUTFILE  2>/dev/null| \
awk '{print $7 \" \" $8 \" \" $9 \" \" $10}'`"

cvs his -calD "$PREVIOUS_DATE" |sort -rb -k 7,7 |\
sort -mub -k 7,7|sort -b -k 8,8 >>$TMP_FILE

the sorts get rid of redundant information to hopefully just show the last
change of each file.

$OUTFILE is a file that was created when the script was last ran, and well I
expect you know what $TMP_FILE is. It still has a lot of information in it,
but I find that info useful, I believe if you take $TMP_FILE and run it
through the following awk it will have just what you want:

 cat $TMP_FILE|awk '{print $8 "/" $7 }'

as I indicated I only use it to see what has changed between runs, more of a
disaster recovery tool than anything (and yes I have _used it for that_),
now that I have cvs2cl and am using CVS vs SCCS.
Your biggest trick is either creating a file with the date you want, or
building up the $PREVIOUS_DATE string by hand.
