If you're downloading the *full* CVS archive (and not just a version of
the files at a particular point in time) then you can use the command
% cvs log filename
which will show you the log of changes made to that filename. You can also
do
% cvs log ld.1
for example.
You can use 'cvs diff' to see the differences between different versions;
% cvs diff -r 1.12.2.3 -r 1.12.2.4 ld.1
would show you exactly what changes were made.
If you don't have the full CVS repository, you can use the CVS web
interface at <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi>.
For example,
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/ld.1>;
