Thanks for that info. I always used it for the entire CVS (taking much
time), but it also works with single files:

 cvs2cl.pl r.in.bin.html
 -> ChangeLog

It's available here:
# cvs2cl.pl creates a GNU style ChangeLog file:
# http://www.red-bean.com/~kfogel/cvs2cl.shtml

The command
 cvs log r.in.bin.html
outputs to stdout instead of generating a file.
