CVS log commit messages

Every now and then when making a release I need an alphabetical list of all CVS commit messages since a particular previous tag. This is what I use (for tag 'mytag'):

cvs log -rmytag:: -S -N | grep '^RCS\|^Working\|^head\|^branch\|^locks\|^access\|^keyword\|^total\|^description\|^-------\|^========\|^revision\|^\?\|^date\|^$\|\*\*\*' -v | sort -u

Is there anybody on this planet with a more elegant solution?

Best regards,
Ganesh
