Examining the revision history

It can be very useful to use cvs to see what recent changes have been made to the code. Anytime one checks in a new version of a file, SVN requires the user to provide comments on the changes with the -m flag. These comments go into a log information that may be easily accessed through SVN. To see what changes have been made recently to the file detci.cc, one would go into the detci source directory and type
svn log detci.cc
Checking the log files is a very useful way to see what recent changes might be causing new problems with the code.
