 A.15.1 log options
 ------------------
 
 By default, `log' prints all information that is available.  All other
 options restrict the output.  Note that the revision selection options
 (`-d', `-r', `-s', and `-w') have no effect, other than possibly
 causing a search for files in Attic directories, when used in
 conjunction with the options that restrict the output to only `log'
 header fields (`-b', `-h', `-R', and `-t') unless the `-S' option is
 also specified.
 
 `-b'
      Print information about the revisions on the default branch,
      normally the highest branch on the trunk.
 
 `-d DATES'
      Print information about revisions with a checkin date/time in the
      range given by the semicolon-separated list of dates.  The date
      formats accepted are those accepted by the `-D' option to many
      other CVS commands ( Common options).  Dates can be
      combined into ranges as follows:
 
     `D1<D2'
     `D2>D1'
           Select the revisions that were deposited between D1 and D2.
 
     `<D'
     `D>'
           Select all revisions dated D or earlier.
 
     `D<'
     `>D'
           Select all revisions dated D or later.
 
     `D'
           Select the single, latest revision dated D or earlier.
 
      The `>' or `<' characters may be followed by `=' to indicate an
      inclusive range rather than an exclusive one.
 
      Note that the separator is a semicolon (;).
 
 `-h'
      Print only the name of the RCS file, name of the file in the
      working directory, head, default branch, access list, locks,
      symbolic names, and suffix.
 
 `-l'
      Local; run only in current working directory.  (Default is to run
      recursively).
 
 `-N'
      Do not print the list of tags for this file.  This option can be
      very useful when your site uses a lot of tags, so rather than
      "more"'ing over 3 pages of tag information, the log information is
      presented without tags at all.
 
 `-R'
      Print only the name of the RCS file.
 
 `-rREVISIONS'
      Print information about revisions given in the comma-separated
      list REVISIONS of revisions and ranges.  The following table
      explains the available range formats:
 
     `REV1:REV2'
           Revisions REV1 to REV2 (which must be on the same branch).
 
     `REV1::REV2'
           The same, but excluding REV1.
 
     `:REV'
     `::REV'
           Revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and
           including REV.
 
     `REV:'
           Revisions starting with REV to the end of the branch
           containing REV.
 
     `REV::'
           Revisions starting just after REV to the end of the branch
           containing REV.
 
     `BRANCH'
           An argument that is a branch means all revisions on that
           branch.
 
     `BRANCH1:BRANCH2'
     `BRANCH1::BRANCH2'
           A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in
           that range.
 
     `BRANCH.'
           The latest revision in BRANCH.
 
      A bare `-r' with no revisions means the latest revision on the
      default branch, normally the trunk.  There can be no space between
      the `-r' option and its argument.
 
 `-S'
      Suppress the header if no revisions are selected.
 
 `-s STATES'
      Print information about revisions whose state attributes match one
      of the states given in the comma-separated list STATES.
 
 `-t'
      Print the same as `-h', plus the descriptive text.
 
 `-wLOGINS'
      Print information about revisions checked in by users with login
      names appearing in the comma-separated list LOGINS.  If LOGINS is
      omitted, the user's login is assumed.  There can be no space
      between the `-w' option and its argument.
 
    `log' prints the intersection of the revisions selected with the
 options `-d', `-s', and `-w', intersected with the union of the
 revisions selected by `-b' and `-r'.
