Has anyone done some awk/Perl/Ruby magic to get a nice branch history?

[Tom Copeland]

This has been brought up here before, but the archives don't show any
nice solutions.

I'm just trying to get this info:

https://cvs.ultralog.net/cgi-bin/cvshist?repository=/cvs/logistics/sra&c
vsmodule=sra&branch=HEAD&threshold=1

for a branch.  

For example, we've got a relatively new branch called final_assessment
and I'd like to see all the commits that have been done for the past 3
days on that branch.  cvs history doesn't seem to have a branch option -
just tags and revision numbers.  Now we enter the land o' dragons.  I
can use 'cvs rdiff' to get a list of files modified on the branch.  Then
I can use 'cvs history' to filter those out by date - except I can't,
because then I'll get some additional history entries that happened on
the HEAD.  Maybe if I fed 'cvs rlog' thru awk... 

If anyone's made progress towards doing something like this, please
share your experiences....

Many Thanks,

Tom Copeland
