OK, good point. As manager of a team, I occasionally have needed (when
using VSS [fx:spit] in a previous company) to track what was changed and
why. With Log, a simple grep through the files was all that was needed.
I'm the first to admit that I'm not using the full features of CVS yet -
like merging branches etc, so I haven't come across the issues that you
describe.
And also, I'm only beginning to realise the full use of the annotate
command. It provides what I need directly - to track down who changed a
line of code. Then I can extract log comments from cvs for that revision
and see why they were done. So probably I don't really need Log in the
header anyway.

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded cvs2cl but have some problems with it -
even with the latest Perl (running under Windows 2000) the second line had
problems. I commented it out; now I get output like:
....
server: Logging system/web
server: Logging system/web/cgi-bin
server: Logging system/webserver
server: Logging system/webserver/Widgets
but then it just hangs. No activity. I ran it with a blank command line,
then tried --stdout but nothing happens. Any ideas? I speak Python/C++ but
not Perl, so don't know the best way to go about debugging it.
If I can get this to run it would be great to set up the auto reports on
checkins, like the gentoo site
