-m=module -d=repository

The 'module' and 'repository' are the CVS module name and the CVS repository. If current directory is the root of a CVS project built from a cvs checkout, cvschangelogbuilder will retreive module and repository value automatically.

-m=module To force value of module name

-d=repository To force value of CVSROOT

Once process is finished, you can ask to not remove the downloaded log file.

-dir=dirname
