It creates a nice delta of the comments in changes between tagged releases. For example, to get the changes from tag R8 to tag R9 for the module called jam:
cvs2cl.pl --delta R8:R9 jamThough the help says this:
--delta FROM_TAG:TO_TAG
Attempt a delta between two tags (since FROM_TAG up to and including
TO_TAG). The algorithm is a simple date-based one (this is a hard
problem) so results are imperfect.
