Is there a way in CVS to see only the logs of files in a certain branch?

assuming that this is what you mean ... from 'info cvs':

`-rREVISIONS'
Print information about revisions given in the comma-separated
list REVISIONS of revisions and ranges. The following table
explains the available range formats:

`REV1:REV2'
Revisions REV1 to REV2 (which must be on the same branch).

`:REV'
Revisions from the beginning of the branch up to and
including REV.

`REV:'
Revisions starting with REV to the end of the branch
containing REV.

`BRANCH'
An argument that is a branch means all revisions on that
branch.

`BRANCH1:BRANCH2'
A range of branches means all revisions on the branches in

I have tried:

cvs log -d '>2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT' -r REL7_0_PATCHES . >log

but that give all files in all branches. If I do:

cvs log -d '>2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT' -rREL7_0_PATCHES . >/bjm/log

with no space after -r, I get only a few changes in the log, with
messages like:

cvs server: warning: no revision `REL7_0_PATCHES' in
`/home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/include/parser/Attic/catalog_utils.h,v'

I am stumped.
