 # The Plan:
 #
 # Read in the logs for multiple files, spit out a nice ChangeLog that
 # mirrors the information entered during `cvs commit'.
 #
 # The problem presents some challenges. In an ideal world, we could
 # detect files with the same author, log message, and checkin time --
 # each <filelist, author, time, logmessage> would be a changelog entry.
 # We'd sort them; and spit them out.  Unfortunately, CVS is *not atomic*
 # so checkins can span a range of times.  Also, the directory structure
 # could be hierarchical.
 #
 # Another question is whether we really want to have the ChangeLog
 # exactly reflect commits. An author could issue two related commits,
 # with different log entries, reflecting a single logical change to the
 # source. GNU style ChangeLogs group these under a single author/date.
 # We try to do the same.
 #
 # So, we parse the output of `cvs log', storing log messages in a
 # multilevel hash that stores the mapping:
 #   directory => author => time => message => filelist
 # As we go, we notice "nearby" commit times and store them together
 # (i.e., under the same timestamp), so they appear in the same log
 # entry.
 #
 # When we've read all the logs, we twist this mapping into
 # a time => author => message => filelist mapping for each directory.
 #
 # If we're not using the `--distributed' flag, the directory is always
 # considered to be `./', even as descend into subdirectories.

 Notes about the output format(s):
 
    The default output of cvs2cl.pl is designed to be compact, formally
    unambiguous, but still easy for humans to read.  It is largely
    self-explanatory, I hope; the one abbreviation that might not be
    obvious is "utags".  That stands for "universal tags" -- a
    universal tag is one held by all the files in a given change entry.
 
    If you need output that's easy for a program to parse, use the
    --xml option.  Note that with XML output, just about all available
    information is included with each change entry, whether you asked
    for it or not, on the theory that your parser can ignore anything
    it's not looking for.
 
 Notes about the options and arguments (the actual options are listed
 last in this usage message):
 
   * The -I and -F options may appear multiple times.
 
   * To follow trunk revisions, use "     This is okay because no would ever, ever be crazy enough to name a
     branch "trunk", right?  Right.
 
   * For the -U option, the UFILE should be formatted like
     CVSROOT">-F trunk" ("-F TRUNK" also works).
     This is okay because no would ever, ever be crazy enough to name a
     branch "trunk", right?  Right.
 
   * For the -U option, the UFILE should be formatted like
     CVSROOT/-F trunk" ("-F TRUNK" also works).
     This is okay because no would ever, ever be crazy enough to name a
     branch "trunk", right?  Right.
 
   * For the -U option, the UFILE should be formatted like
     CVSROOT/users. That is, each line of UFILE looks like this
        jrandom:jrandom@red-bean.com
     or maybe even like this
        jrandom:'Jesse Q. Random <jrandom@red-bean.com>'
     Don't forget to quote the portion after the colon if necessary.
   
   * Many people want to filter by date.  To do so, invoke cvs2cl.pl
     like this: 
        cvs2cl.pl -l "-d'DATESPEC'"
     where DATESPEC is any date specification valid for "cvs log -d".
     (Note that CVS 1.10.7 and below requires there be no space between
     -d and its argument).
 
 Options/-F trunk" ("-F TRUNK" also works).

   --stdin                      Read from stdin, don't run cvs log
   --stdout                     Output to stdout not to ChangeLog
   -d, --distributed            Put ChangeLogs in subdirs

   -R REGEXP, --regexp REGEXP   Include only entries that match REGEXP

 Note about a bug-slash-opportunity:
 -----------------------------------
 
 There's a bug in Text::Wrap, which affects cvs2cl.  This script
 reveals it:
 
   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   
   use Text::Wrap;
   
   my $test_text =
   "This script demonstrates a bug in Text::Wrap.  The very long line
   following this paragraph will be relocated relative to the surrounding
   text:
   
   ====================================================================
   
   See?  When the bug happens, we'll get the line of equal signs below
   this paragraph, even though it should be above.";
   
   
   # Print out the test text with no wrapping:
   print "$test_text";
   print "\n";
   print "\n";
   
   # Now print it out wrapped, and see the bug:
   print wrap ("\t", "        ", "$test_text");
   print "\n";
   print "\n";
 
 If the line of equal signs were one shorter, then the bug doesn't
 happen.  Interesting.
 
 Anyway, rather than fix this in Text::Wrap, we might as well write a
 new wrap() which has the following much-needed features:
 
 * initial indentation, like current Text::Wrap()
 * subsequent line indentation, like current Text::Wrap()
 * user chooses among: force-break long words, leave them alone, or die()?
 * preserve existing indentation: chopped chunks from an indented line
   are indented by same (like this line, not counting the asterisk!)
 * optional list of things to preserve on line starts, default ">"
 
 Note that the last two are essentially the same concept, so unify in
 implementation and give a good interface to controlling them.
 
 And how about:
 
 Optionally, when encounter a line pre-indented by same as previous
 line, then strip the newline and refill, but indent by the same.
 Yeah...
