I need to find one specific revision changes done on one file. I used cvs log filename.java command and was able to find the revision number.
I am not finding any way to get exact text changes were done to the file for that revision.
I am new to cvs and since one of our Legacy application still uses it I need to use it. I also did not find the answer here or elsewhere.
Here is the command I tried to get the revision number:
cvs log filename.java
Output:
----------------------------
revision <number>
date: <date>; author: author; state: Exp; lines: +6 -8
Comments:
----------------------------
Use cvs diff to see the changes between two revisions.
For example, if the change was made in revision 1.42, use:
cvs diff -r1.41 -r1.42 filename.java
You might prefer to use cvs diff -u, which uses a more reader-friendly output format.
(Another useful command is cvs annotate (called blame by some other source control systems), which shows which revision changed each line.)
