> Does anyone knows how to search revision by > the log message ? As far as I know there is no native CVS way to do this. Logging a grepping doesn't work either because of the log listing format. A while back I drug our development group kicking and screaming away from $Log: $ expansions in our source files and this was, by far, the main complaint raised. Despite fundamental problems with the concept developers like doing text searches through sources looking for commit message strings like bug numbers. Sure, it doesn't cover binaries and there are other issues but that's what many like to do because the action is "in band" and doesn't require multi-tasking out to some other tool. I didn't get any replies to my post which told me there wasn't a simple way out there I was overlooking. We managed the move through a combination of ViewCVS links in the header of each text source file and loginfo hooks that placed commit listings into our bug tracking software based on bug numbers found in the commit descriptions. --Aric Aric Czarnowski Unimax Systems Corporation 612-204-3634
