rannotate — Synonyms: ra, rann

Synopsis

cvs [cvs-options] rannotate [-fFlR] [-D date] [-r revision] files...

Displays files with annotations showing the last editor and revision that changed each line of each specified file. You can run rannotate without a sandbox, but you must have a repository specified if you do so. rannotate requires at least one filename, directory name, or module name from within the repository as an argument.

See also annotate.

Command options

-D date

Run rannotate on the latest revision of a file that is as old as or older than the date or time specified by date.

-f

Use the latest (HEAD) revision on the current branch or trunk if no revision matches the date or revision number. This applies only if -r or -D is used.

-F

Show annotations for binary files.

-l

Run rannotate on files in the local directory only. (Do not recurse into subdirectories.)

-r revision

Run rannotate on the specified revision or tag of a file. If the revision or tag refers to a branch, run the command on the latest (HEAD) revision of the branch.

-R

Run rannotate on files in the local directory and all subdirectories and recurse down the subdirectories. This option is the default.
