To look at what has been applied to cvs in general, you can look at the 
archives at either http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/, or via 
nntp at news.gmane.org, group gmane.comp.emulators.wine.cvs.

To look at the cvs history of a particular file, do for example:
cvs log dlls/comctl32/tooltips.c

I rarely update just one file directly with cvs, but instead simply get 
the patch I am interested in testing from the cvs archive and apply it 
directly. When using CVS to go back and forth tracking down a 
regression, I have always used the date method.
