Get CVS history for a particular user

Question

How do I get the history of commits that have been made to the repository for a particular user?

I am able to access CVS either through the command line or TortioseCVS, so a solution using either method is sufficient.

As a coder, I am mostly interested in commit changes, (as opposed to tagging, branching, etc), so I usually include the -c commit option as well:

cvs history -c -u username

Or try this one:

cvs history -x AMR -D "your-desired-date"

Example

cvs history -x AMR -D "2012-04-12"

I have give an example, Have you try it ? ;) – Brain90 Apr 12 '12 at 09:07
I appreciate that you're being playful, but I had to `cvs --help history` to figure this out. Flag "-x" is extract by record type. Flag "-D" is since date (Many formats). – aaaidan Apr 13 '12 at 12:03
@aaaidan, I'm sorry about that. Thanks for completing the commands description. – Brain90 Jul 04 '12 at 03:30
