 A.15 log--Print out log information for files
 =============================================
 
    * Synopsis: log [options] [files...]
 
    * Requires: repository, working directory.
 
    * Changes: nothing.
 
    Display log information for files.  `log' used to call the RCS
 utility `rlog'.  Although this is no longer true in the current
 sources, this history determines the format of the output and the
 options, which are not quite in the style of the other CVS commands.
 
    The output includes the location of the RCS file, the "head"
 revision (the latest revision on the trunk), all symbolic names (tags)
 and some other things.  For each revision, the revision number, the
 date, the author, the number of lines added/deleted, the commitid and
 the log message are printed.  All dates are displayed in local time at
 the client. This is typically specified in the `$TZ' environment
 variable, which can be set to govern how `log' displays dates.
 
    *Note_ `log' uses `-R' in a way that conflicts with the normal use-NEWLINE- inside CVS ( Common options).*
