Greetings gnus,

I'm an emacs novice, and am starting to use emacs to interact with CVS.

Is there a way to use emacs to search file revisions for a particular
string?

For example, I want to quickly see if any revision in a given configuration
file ever had a reference to the string "VisitType" without doing
iterative DIFFs, etc.

Thanks very much in advance,
Ryan
