Hi everyone,

I have 3 problems with the history command.

1- I can not get the changes since a certain tag, although I can make sure
that the tag exists by inspecting individual files using Tortoise CVS. When
I use the command

cvs history -c -a -t TrfEng-0_01

I get the following

No tag found: TrfEng-0_01

2- I can not specify the module to run the command against. When I use the
command

cvs history -c -a -n TrfEng

I get the following

No records selected.

Although I'm sure from the checkout dialogues of Tortoise CVS that this is
the correct module name.

3- The records returned by the history command do not show the file name,
which renders the whole thing useless. Running the command

cvs history -c -a -D 2006-01-01

I get the follwing...only showing the first few lines...

M 2006-01-02 07:16 +0000 (null) TrfEng
1.63
someMachineName.mydomain == someUsername
M 2006-01-02 07:16 +0000 (null) TrfEng/TrfEngBC4J

Could someone please point me to what I'm doing wrong. Every help is
appreciated.

Thanks
