I have checked out the sources for -Stable using 'cvs co -rRELENG_2_2 src'. All of the "normal" stuff works, the RELENG_2_2 tag gets recorded in each directory, etc. According to my understanding of the cvs man page, I ought to be able to do 'cvs diff -rHEAD' in a given directory and have it show me the differences between the -Stable and -Current branches. However, it produces no output at all except, "cvs diff: Diffing ." In some directories, if I do 'cvs diff -r RELENG_2_2 -r HEAD' I get the desired output, but if I go to some directories (like src/usr.bin/w) even that produces no output, however, if I check the log and diff the version I have checked out against the head of the branch file by file, I see actual differences. Also, if I make changes in the files in one directory and run 'cvs diff' I see the changes against the version I have checked out. So the question is, am I misunderstanding the syntax of the command, or otherwise doing something odd or wrong? I feel like I have a pretty good grip on cvs, and the fact that some things work in some directories but not others lead me to believe that there might be something odd happening, but I'm not sure what.
