Log messages by date

[Rob Lauer]

Strange issues...trying to filter log messages by date but I seem to get
all of the files in the project instead of just the files where the log
message has changed since a given date and user. I've done this in other
projects and have gotten desired results, so I suspect something funky is
happening.

$ cvs log -wrlauer -d '>2016/09/01'

..in the checked out project root, results in all of the files being
returned with strangely only files that actually changed having a line that
includes the date.

Here's an example of file with no date....

I don't recall how to do what you are looking for, directly with CVS, but cvs2cl tends to make the aggregation and then trimming to what you want a lot easier.
http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/

I would suggest
cvs2cl.pl --tags --branches --revisions
as the set of options to begin with.
