I'm running a client/server, but both them are mandrake 10.1
installed a few months ago, so both cvs's should be quite recent.

I made also the same test on another client/server cvs,
both running fedora FC3 (I haven't the cvs version, sorry):
same result.

Today I can't run this test, I'll do it tomorrow and I'll report the result.

By the way, using apache+viewcvs I was able to see all the revisions
of that file and all the logs I wrote.

Further, the command
cvs log -d date1 -d date2 filename
is able to show the comments of each commit I made.
