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.
SEE ALSO
diff(1),
patch(1),
cvs(1)
