NAME
       cvs2html - render a CVS commit log in HTML

SYNOPSIS
       cvs2html  [-a[-b][-k]]  [-n numdif] [-l/-L home] [-e] [-f] [-d MMM DD [YYYY]] [-D DD] [-i image]] [-h] [-v] [-w framewidth] [-s percentage]
       [-N maxchrono] [-rrev1:rev2] [-c|-C cfilename] -O | -o htmlname [-p cvspath] [-v verbosity]

DESCRIPTION
       The cvs2html script fetches the commit log for a CVS module and renders it in HTML.

       -a     Generate additional fields and files containing differences between versions in an xdiff-like side by side manner.

       -b     Use spaces as breakpoints to wrap the text, if -a is specified. This is used to stop the two columns from exceeding the total width.

       -c | -C filename
	      Save a chronologically sorted list of all log entries in html format in filename. Use -C to reverse-sort the file.

       -d MMM DD [YYYY]
	      Omit all log messages prior to the given date. The first three letters of the month should be used (eg Jun 5). The year is optional.

       -D DD  Omit all log messages older than DD days.

       -e     Print log messages in courier (non-proportional) font.

       -f     Generate individual log files for each file when using -o.

       -h     Show help

       -i image
	      Make image the background image.

       -k     Ignore changes in lines caused by CVS-keyword substitutions when -a is specified.

       -l home
	      Make links relative to home.

       -L home
	      Make links relative to home, but substitute file extensions with .html.

       -n numdiff
	      Output only the latest numdiff diffs in the log. Older commits will only have the log data displayed.

       -N maxchrono
	      Show only the latest maxchrono file changes in the chronological list of changes.

       -o output
	      If output is a directory, all html files produced are stored there, using the name of the repository as the  base  filename.  Other-
	      wise, output is used as the base name. Generate frames for easier browsing.

       -O output
	      If  output  is  a directory, all html files produced are stored there, using the name of the repository as the base filename. Other-
	      wise, output is used as the base name.

       -P cvspath
	      Set the cvs path to cvspath.

       -rrev1:rev2
	      Show only the log messages between rev1, and rev2. If a file isn't tagged, then the whole revision story of the file is shown.

       -s percentage
	      Make the width of the left frame, percentage of the window.

       -v     Insert CVSROOT information in the index.

       -V verbosity
	      Set the verbosity. The higher verbosity is, the more output is printed out.

       -w framewidth
	      Make the width of the left frame, framewidth pixels.

EXAMPLE
       cvs2html -l http://cvs.sslug.dk/linuxbog -f -p \ -o cvs2html/index.html -v -a -b -n 6 -C chrono.html

       Will create a directory called cvs2html directory. This directory will contain a log data file, for every file in the repository. The  last
       6  commits to every file will have a diff available. All links will be relative to http://cvs.sslug.dk/linuxbog. It will also create a file
       with all the log data in it, in chronological order.
