Re: Looking for info on cvs logging

[Brendan Humphreys]

Hi Norm,

Our commercial tool, FishEye, sits alongside your CVS and does  
changeset analysis (amongst many other things). It also allows very  
sophisticated querying so that you could pull commit messages and  
changeset IDs from the repository into CSV format very easily by  
running a query like:

select revisions from dir /projects/foo
group by changeset
return author, comment, csid

You can run this query via a web interface or via a REST-style web API.

More information about FishEye can be found at http://www.cenqua.com/

A live demo instance of FishEye can be found here: http://

Cheers,
