Good tip, I didn't realise Emacs could do that.

Although it only appears to do it per buffer/file rather than per-project.

To make it work I ran the following from the *scratch* buffer. Although it could also be added to the ~/.emacs file for constant use:

(require 'vc)

Once that's loaded you get a lot of new commands. To do the history on the current file/buffer you run:

M-x vc-print-log
(vc-print-log is bound to "Ctrl-x v a" as you mention).

For a one-off job using Emacs is fine, but for scripting the cvs2cl tool is probably better).
