One of the things that I need to do every week is submit a progress report for the past week. It’s really easy to generate this by pulling the commit messages from CVS. That way I just have to copy/paste them into a new Word doc and reformat it. In case you were wondering how the following command will generate all the changes that occurred between the first and the eighth of June.


cvs log -S -d '2008-06-01<2008-06-08'
