Netbeans CVS-client's commands

I am trying to use CVS-client.jar of Netbeans to find specific project's users.

I tried to use the 'cvs history' command, to get history:

1. From -m module
2. Of -x type
3. By -a (All users)
4. On -D date

E.g.,

    cvs history -a -x AMR -m DemoModule -D 06/07/2011

But this command produces the following error message:

cvs [server aborted]: Onl开发者_高级运维y one report type allowed from: "-Tcomxe"

If I understand the question correctly, the below will display results from a certain module,
and of only certain record types. The key is using -n in place of -m.
(-n doesn't appear to be listed in all CVS command listings I have found).

     cvs history -x AMR -a -n DemoModule -D 06/07/2011

Now, for the reason for the error that the OP, and I, got... From my versions man page:

Usage: {cvs} history [-report] [-flags] [-options args] [files...]

and

Several options (shown above as '-report') control what kind of report is generated:

-c
    Report on each time commit was used (i.e., each time the repository was modified). 

-e
    Everything (all record types). Equivalent to specifying `-x' with all record types.
    Of course, `-e' will also include record types which are added in a future version of
    CVS; if you are writing a script which can only handle certain record types, you'll 
    want to specify `-x'.

-m module
    Report on a particular module. (You can meaningfully use `-m' more than once on the command line.) 

-o
    Report on checked-out modules. 

-T
    Report on all tags.

-x type
    Extract a particular set of record types type from the CVS history.
    The types are indicated by single letters, which you may specify in combination. 

        Certain commands have a single record type:

        F  release 
        O  checkout 
        E  export 
        T  rtag 

        One of four record types may result from an update:

        C  A merge was necessary but collisions were detected (requiring manual merging). 
        G  A merge was necessary and it succeeded. 
        U  A working file was copied from the repository. 
        W  The working copy of a file was deleted during update (because it was gone from the repository). 

        One of three record types results from commit:

        A  A file was added for the first time. 
        M  A file was modified. 
        R  A file was removed. 

Problem is, what isn't very well articulated in all the manuals I have seen, is that you can only have a single report type. i.e., One of the above main options (c, e, m, o, T, x), which is (perhaps too) clearly stated by the error Only one report type allowed from: "-Tcomxe".
