There are a couple of different queries that people would be interested
in:
* the full cvs2cl log between any two release points;
* the cvs2cl log from latest release to branch tip.
I do not think it's appropriate to stick this into the tarballs, as
there's an awful lot of noise in the logs (eg, docs tweaks, reverted
patches, trivial code cleanups); our practice of generating a condensed
release-notes page is a large public service in my eyes. But +1 to
providing a web page from which the detailed answers could be generated
easily.
BTW, cvs2cl (at least the version I use) works fine against a remote
repository, so it's not like Ray couldn't have gotten the answer for
himself. But a web page would be more user-friendly.
regards, tom lane
