Get CVS history for a particular user

Question

How do I get the history of commits that have been made to the repository for a particular user?

I am able to access CVS either through the command line or TortioseCVS, so a solution using either method is sufficient.

Answer 2

As a coder, I am mostly interested in commit changes, (as opposed to tagging, branching, etc), so I usually include the -c commit option as well:

cvs history -c -u username

Answer 3

Or try this one:

cvs history -x AMR -D "your-desired-date"

Example

cvs history -x AMR -D "2012-04-12"

I have give an example, Have you try it ? ;) – Rectify

I appreciate that you're being playful, but I had to cvs --help history to figure this out. Flag "-x" is extract by record type. Flag "-D" <date> is since date (Many formats). – Subterranean

@aaaidan, I'm sorry about that. Thanks for completing the commands description. – Rectify
