I don't see any reason why rlog can't grok CVS-generated ,v files. CVS's ,v format was created in consultation with the RCS developers, and I don't see any reason why the two packages should stop being interoperable. If the RCS 5.8 parser is stricter than the 5.7 parser, and if this is causing problems with reading CVS files, that suggests that there's a problem in the 5.8 parser.
