How can I list files in CVS without an initial che

Question

How can I list files CVS without an initial checkout?

In subversion I can simply do "svn ls http://svn.svn.com" in CVS how can I do this?

For example I've got this CVS connection:

 pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/evocms

How can I list all files in it?

UPDATE:

I'm doing this:

c:\>set CVSROOT=pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/evocms
c:\>cvs -list ---> doesn't work, prints out the help screen

Answer 1

see cvs commands

for example;

cvs list

will list all modules in CVS server

Answer 2

This is what I use. msolorzano is my login, and password, and "Deployer" is the module:

cvs -d :pserver:msolorzano:password@gtess-cvs:/cvsdata/data1 rlog -R Deployer

...as a matter of fact, you can vet a cvs list of files in a "clean way" if you are executing commands in a UNIX/Linux environment, like this:

cvs -d :pserver:msolorzano:password@gtess-cvs:/cvsdata/data1 rlog Deployer | grep  ',v' | sed 's/RCS file: //g' | sed s/,v//g
