Or, copying from the web page http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/cvs/basic-usage.html, which shows how to use the ~/.cvsrc file to make common cvs commands default the way you want them to, you could put into that file the line "diff -u" so it always gives you the unified diff format, which just happens to be the easiest for humans to read, and the format specified in FreeBSD (hint, hint). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmIm9EACgkQz62J6PPcoOnRlQCeIT8vsLZ6LI764WOaTQy72ym4 Tp0AoJ43TIQYsGFz8YYD2ChhMSUU0Wpc =ta5/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
