Okay, I will have a look at it.

It's also only available in GNU CVS 1.12.12 and above and will
probably neither make its way into the 1.11 ("stable") line,
nor into OpenCVS (but ask jfb@openbsd.org for that).

http://mirbsd.mirsolutions.de/cvs.cgi/CVSROOT/

commitinfo and taginfo call commit_prep2
loginfo calls log_accum2 which calls log_write2
posttag calls tag_accum2 which calls log_write2

The layout is somehow similar in NetBSD I heard, but every
project's ChangeLog files are different. OpenBSD does not
even have that list of 'cvs rdiff' commands which would be
easy to parse.
