title: CVS - How to Get First Check In Date from Command Line
body: <p>I'm working on writing a script which will append a copyright comment to the beginning of each source code file.</p>
  
  <p>This comment needs to have the the original check in date's year. To get this I need to query CVS to get the original check in date for each file, but haven't found an easy way to do this. Is there an easy to way to get this information?</p>
