RE: Does log just give info about files that are on my local machine?

[Aditya Gandhi]

Thanks for your response Jim....

I had tried rlog on my client... but that gave me even stranger
results... for rlog I get a blank response from my server.. i.e. not
even showing me info for files checked out on my machine. (this is
happening even if I run the command on a repository that I have checked
out completely)

Regards

  Yes. Most CVS commands will work only against the file that you have
  checked
  out.

  Have you tried rlog?
