  rem cvs to update codebase
  for /f "Tokens=2-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set LOGDATE=%%k-%%i-%%j
  
  for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
  set tm=%tm::=-%
  set dtt=%LOGDATE%%tm%
  
  
  rem Log File will save to this dir
  set DIST_FILE=d:/cvs/log_%dtt%.log
  
  rem This is the project in your Local Machine checkout from CVS Server
  c:
  cd /
  cd C:/workspace/c_prj
  
  rem The Date which Log will be get after
  cvs log -N -d">%LOGDATE%" >%DIST_FILE%
