That's not the result I get. (I'm running cvsnt 2.0.41a on Win2K.)

Each $item contains "<filename> <revision>". So it's quite easy to strip 
out the revision, and then handle the filename separately.

Also, I call 'cvs log' with the filename, and I have to strip out the 
backslashes first (otherwise 'cvs log' thinks the backslashes are 
directory separators).

I just make sure I always test my scripts on filenames with embedded 
spaces. Any problems show up *very* quickly (and obviously) then.
