Use "cvs2cl" and read the ChangeLog file that the command creates. I only know 
it on Linux though. The result is pretty much the same as "svn log".

svn doesn't really do tagging and branching, it only does copies.

The equivalent to "svn status" is "cvs -n up 2>/dev/null". The equivalent 
of "svn diff" is "cvs diff -U" and does exactly the same.
For whatever means, you should use cvs-nt instead of original cvs, anyway.
