       -m=module -d=repository
                 The  'module'  and  'repository'  are  the  CVS module name and the CVS repository.  If current
                 directory is the root of a CVS project built from  a  cvs  checkout,  cvschangelogbuilder  will
                 retreive  module  and  repository  value  automatically.   If  no  local copy of repository are
                 available or to force other value, use:

                    •  -m=module           To force value of module name

                    •  -d=repository       To force value of CVSROOT

       -branch=branchname
                 To work on another branch than the default branch.

       -tagstart=tagname
                 To specify start tag version.

       -tagend=tagend
                 To specify end tag version.

       -ssh      To run CVS through ssh (this set env var CVS_RSH="ssh").

       -rlogfile=rlogfile
                 If an up-to-date log file already exists localy, you can use this option to avoid log download,
                 for a faster result.

       -keeprlogfile
                 Once process is finished, you can ask to not remove the downloaded log file.

                 '__MODULE__' will be replaced by name of CVS module.

       -ignore=file/dir
                 To exclude a file/dir off report.

       -only=file/dir
                 To have reports only on file/dir that match.
