make world with the latest cvs update. This bug has been there before.
>Description:
cvs mangles directory names when you (1) specify more than one

Not known.

>> cd /usr/ports/editors
(edit emacs/Makefile and jed/Makefile)
>> cvs diff -u emacs jed 2>/dev/null | grep Index
Index: emacs/patches/patch-aa
Index: jed/Makefile
(correct)
>> cd ..
>> cvs diff -u editors/emacs editors/jed 2>/dev/null | grep Index
Index: editors/emacs/patches/patch-aa
Index: editors/editors/jed/Makefile
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can see similar symptoms if you do "cd /usr/ports; cvs update
editors/emacs editors/jed" or "cvs commit editors/emacs editors/jed").
However, "cvs diff" is the only one that is truly annoying because
it confuses the hell out of "patch".
