Display historical information. To use the history command, you must first set up the history file in the repository. See Section 18.2.3 for more information on this file.

Tip

When used with the history command, the functions of -f, -l, -n, and -p are not the same as elsewhere in CVS.

The standard meanings of the common client options -D and -r apply. History is reported for activity subsequent to the date or revision indicated. Additional options are listed in Table 18-24.
