                    •  loosecommits      To separate commits for same log by spaces

       -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.

       -dir=dirname
                 Output is built in directory dirname.

       -viewcvsurl=viewcvsurl
                 File's revisions in  reports  built  by  buildhtmlreport  output  are  links  to
                 "viewcvs". String '__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.
