Looking to get a list of all the files (commit comments would be nice too) of a user in cvs.

Use the following command to list all commits by a specific user:

cvs -q log -N -S -wuser dir/

-N Do not list tags.
-S Do not print name/header if no revisions selected.
-w[logins] Only list revisions checked in by specified logins.

Watchout! The order of the switches matters.

For more options and help use:

cvs -H log

(Listing of switches above taken from this command's output).
