You can also get them in mailing-list format by downloading the cvs-all list archives from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/mailing-lists/archive/ . Yet another option is to use the Subversion repository instead of CVS: svn log -v -r 1:HEAD svn://svn.freebsd.org/base will dump all commitlogs starting with the first. Probably not recommended if you are going to scan through every commit, but handy if you want to pick and choose, and much much faster than CVS. What changes were made to ufs between 1995 and 1996: svn log -r '{1995-01-01}:{1996-01-01}' svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/ufs -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
