The history file

The file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history is used to log information for the history command (see history). This file must be created to turn on logging. This is done automatically if the cvsinit script is used to set up the repository.

The file format of the history file is unfortunately not yet documented anywhere, but it is fairly easy to understand most of it.
