CVSLog

:CVSLog [OPTIONS] [FILES OR DIRECTORIES]

Will open Telescope for cvs log of file or directory, grouping changes by commits. You will see commit message and changed files in preview window. Press <CR> on commit to open diff for it.

Following search implemented: match all tokens separated by whitespace ignoring case, order does not matter; each token match one of commit message (substring match), filename (fuzzy match), date (substring match) or author (exact match).

If no file or directory is passed will use current working directory to fetch log (like cvs log command do).

Possible options are:

-A author to filter changes by author (multiple options possible)
-d date_range to filter changes by date range (same syntax as cvs log -d)

Examples:

This will show changes in current working directory for last week:

:CVSLog -d ">1 week ago"

This will show changes during July 2023 for files README.md and LICENSE:

:CVSLog -d 2023-07-01>2023-08-01 README.md LICENSE

This will show changes by mrchnk or nikolai older than 1 year in folder plugin:

:CVSLog -A mrchnk -A nikolai -d "<1 year ago" plugin/
