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.
This is nice, but if you want more control over CVS, I'd definitely recommend using git cvsimport. It relies on cvsps to do the hard work of getting useful information out of CVS
