Interesting, thanks :)
It seems the real command would look like
cvs -q log -SR -r at 8804650d0eb1722
(At least to me this wasn't completely obvious.)
Is there more of this type? Is this somewhere documented? (A search through
the manual for "commitid" or "commit id" didn't bring up anything
relevant.)
