KM,
What version of CVS? What operating system?

What guide are you using? The reference manual is a reference - it's designed
for people who already know what they are doing. CVS is a large and complex
system - noone would administer a clearcase repository without spending tens if
not hundreds of thousands of dollars on training. At least buy some books
about CVS from Amazon (or whoever) - there are hundreds including 'all about
cvs' which I had a hand in writing.

If you are using CVSNT 2.x and have audit enabled, yes. CVSNT is NoT CVS
though - so contact the vendor for support.
If you are using CVS 1.x or CVSNT 2.x and have 'history' enabled, yes - use
'cvs history'.

The branch-name refers to the end (HEAD) of the branch not the beginning of the
branch.

If you are using CVSNT 2.x - yes - the mergepoints will tell you what has
already been merged. Subsequent mergepoint merges automatically only merge the
changes since the previous merge.
