OK, I figured out how to get a log of all changes from 7.0 to the branch
split:

cvs log -r REL7_0 -r REL7_0_PATCHES .

Now, I need a list of log entries just in the REL7_0_PATCHES branch made
after the branch was split. I tried:

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

but I got entries like:

date: 2000/05/29 05:44:24; author: tgl; state: Exp; lines: +3 -27
Generated header files parse.h and fmgroids.h are now copied into the
src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.
Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.

which is only in the current tree. Any ideas, folks? I feel like a
pretty big idiot here that I can not figure out how to do it.

Hmm, it looks to me like space is significant: the options take their
value up to the next space, so (according to the book 'Open Source Development
with CVS' found at red-bean.com/cvsbook), something like this
should work:

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

This does not work. It only gets changes since REL7_0PATCHES was
created.

Actually, the description of the cvs log options specifically mentions
that spaces are not allowed.

OK, thanks, I got it working with:

cvs log -d'2000-05-08 00:00:00 GMT<2000-05-29 00:00:00 GMT'
cvs log -d'>2000-05-29 00:00:00 GMT' -rREL7_0_PATCHES

The first gets all change up to the branch, the second gets stuff after
the branch. I am working on 7.0.1 release packaging now. Sorry for the
delay. I am just CVS messed up.
