#!/bin/sh

egrep -e '/[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.2\.[0-9]+/' `find . -name Entries -print` | \
grep '[^:]*CVS/Entries:' | \
sed -e 's/\(Entries:\/[^\/]*\).*/\1/' | \
sed -e 's/CVS\/Entries:\///' | \
while read f ; do
cvs log -rREL6_4: $f
done

Use this script in the working directory where you checked
out the REL6_4 branch. I depends on the fact that every file,
touched in that branch, has a 2 in it's third element of the
revision number.

The egrep-sed party just selects all file names from the
CVS/Entries which have such a revision number. Then cvs is
called for each to print out the log from REL6_4 to the last
revision in the branch.

Make sure there is no blank between -r and REL6_4: on the cvs
log call, or the called rlog will misinterpret it as a
filename and print out the complete logging for the trunk.
