Use an indexed array to store the lines before search pattern and print when pattern is matched.

Something like this should work:
Code:
cvs log | gawk -v L=10 '
        !/date: 2013-10-30/ {

                A[++c] = $0
        }
        /date: 2013-10-30/ {
                for ( i = (c - (L-1)); i <= c; i++ )
                        print A[i]
                print
                for ( j = 1; j <= L; j++ )
                {
                        getline
                        print
                }
                delete A
                c = 0
        }
'
