Select your parameters for querying the CVS commit database in the
form at the top of the page. You
can search for multiple matches by typing a comma-seperated list
into the text fields. Regular expressions, and wildcards are also
supported. Blank text input fields are treated as wildcards.
</p>
<p>
Any of the text entry fields can take a comma-seperated list of
search arguments. For example, to search for all commits from
authors <em>jpaint</em> and <em>gstein</em>, just type: <code>jpaint,
gstein</code> in the <em>Author</em> input box. If you are searching
for items containing spaces or quotes, you will need to quote your
request. For example, the same search above with quotes is:
<code>"jpaint", "gstein"</code>.
</p>
<p>
Wildcard and regular expression searches are entered in a similar
way to the quoted requests. You must quote any wildcard or
regular expression request, and a command character preceeds the
first quote. The command character <code>l</code>(lowercase L) is for wildcard
searches, and the wildcard character is a percent (<code>%</code>). The
command character for regular expressions is <code>r</code>, and is
passed directly to MySQL, so you'll need to refer to the MySQL
manual for the exact regex syntax. It is very similar to Perl. A
wildard search for all files with a <em>.py</em> extention is:
<code>l"%.py"</code> in the <em>File</em> input box. The same search done
with a regular expression is: <code>r".*\.py"</code>.
</p>
<p>
All search types can be mixed, as long as they are seperated by
commas.
