That's a good point --- there doesn't seem to be any real easy way of
extracting a set of changes to different files except to use -D. And
even that doesn't do anything to separate unrelated patches applied at
about the same time.

For the record, you can get a diff of this kind with a command like

cvs diff -c -D '2000-12-14 17:00' -D '2000-12-14 18:00'

executed in the top level of the tree you want to search.
