The point is, that I wanted to avoid parsing of the output. Therefore,
I asked if CVSNT could deliver its output in a preparsed way (which would
be XML).

I want to integrate CVS in to an XML based processor. Is there a formal 
grammar (or at least a reliable documentation) available for the output 
CVSNT creates. If yes, then it would be much easier to interpret it
