I have tried:

cvs log -d '>2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT' -r REL7_0_PATCHES . >log

but that give all files in all branches. If I do:

cvs log -d '>2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT' -rREL7_0_PATCHES . >/bjm/log

with no space after -r, I get only a few changes in the log, with
messages like:

cvs server: warning: no revision `REL7_0_PATCHES' in
`/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/include/parser/Attic/catalog_utils.h,v'

I am stumped.
