   I am getting an odd error from rlog:

   address@hidden //notsure/cvs/MHPro
   $ rlog Makefile,v

   rlog: Makefile,v:439: missing `desc' keyword
   rlog aborted

That comma-v file has a format that rlog (from GNU RCS 5.8) does not
understand, perhaps because it was created by CVS.  5.8 is more strict
about the format (see rcsfile(5)), and got confused by:

  deltatype     text;
  kopt  kLv;
  permissions   666;
  commitid      16846ddc38e5e29;
  filename      Makefile;

starting at line 440.  Can you use "cvs log" instead?
