Suggestions for CVS2CL.PL

I have been using CVS2CL.PL for a while now, under Windows. It
as always provided me with helpful information by way of ChangeLogs
to track our development activity.

I recently acquired CVS2CL.PL Revision: 2.48, and found many
enhancements, which I had always wanted.

I like the --rcs option, but, under Windows, and I guess depending
on how one defines/specifies the CVSROOT value, the "RCS file:"
record may contain forward and backward slashes. The following
diff segment should take care of the problem:

--- /src/cvs2cl/cvs2cl.pl Mon Apr 21 04:50:52 2003
+++ /temp/cvs2cl.pl Thu Jun 12 15:31:50 2003

+ } elsif ($RCS_Mode && m|^RCS file: $RCS_Root[/\\](.*),v$|) {
          $new_full_path = $1;
        }
      }

Also, I noticed the option '--chrono' is not displayed in the
subroutine usage():
