Right. You can subscribe to either committers or committers-digest
(I use the latter). Also, don't forget that you can use "cvs log"
to examine the log file for any particular file you are concerned
about.

For example:

$ cvs log pgtransdb.cc | more

RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/pgsql/src/interfaces/libpq++/pgtransdb.cc,v
Working file: pgtransdb.cc
head: 1.3
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
REL6_4: 1.1.0.2
release-6-3: 1.1
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 3; selected revisions: 3
description:
----------------------------
revision 1.3
date: 1999/05/30 15:17:58; author: tgl; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4
Replace static rcsid[] strings by IDENTIFICATION comments in
file headers, to conform to established Postgres coding style and avoid
warnings from gcc.
----------------------------

Or even more directly, use "cvs diff" to see the differences between
any two revisions:

$ cvs diff -c -r 1.4 -r 1.5 pglobject.cc
Index: pglobject.cc
===================================================================
