[GRASS5] WARNING: CVS broken

[Markus Neteler]

Hi again on the CVS broken issue,

I am trying to understand the "cvs log" command.
At time I have to analyse a 120000+ lines file (stuff from May to today),
which is VERY boring. This I have created with

cvs log -d">2001-05-20" > cvs_log_everything_since_may.txt

(idea from:)
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#SEC141

However, I want to see only non-release-branch commits.
But I don't get the "-r" flag working:

cvs log  -d">2001-05-20" -r ::releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0
cvs server: nothing known about ::releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0

(note, the "::" shall limit the search. From the docs above:
"::rev 
                    Revisions from the beginning of the branch up to, but
                    not including, rev. 
"

It seems I am missing something, any CVS experts out there?

 Markus
