FIXCVSDIFF

NAME

fixcvsdiff - fix problematic diff files

SYNOPSIS

fixcvsdiff [-p] [-b] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

fixcvsdiff modifies diff files created from the cvs diff command, where files have been added or removed. CVS tends to create diff files that patch(1)mis-interprets. The diff file must retain the lines beginning with ``Index:'' in order for the correction to work.

OPTIONS

-b: Keep a .bak backup file.
-p: Print out the cvs add and cvs remove commands that must be made after applying the diff, but before running cvs commit.
