CVS isn't very good at this. As Tom Lane noted, your best bet is to do
it by checking a narrow time window around the time the file of interest
was changed. If commit activity isn't too high this is generally just fine.

This is one of the (many) problems with CVS that Subversion solves. Not
that it solves all of them, mind you.
