% cvs diff -H
Usage: cvs diff [-lN] [rcsdiff-options]
[[-r rev1 | -D date1] [-r rev2 | -D date2]] [files...]
-l Local directory only, not recursive
-D d1 Diff revision for date against working file.
-D d2 Diff rev1/date1 against date2.
-N include diffs for added and removed files.
-r rev1 Diff revision for rev1 against working file.
-r rev2 Diff rev1/date1 against rev2.
%
cvs diff -r XXX -r YYY
to get a difference between revisions XXX and YYY. You can specify
one or more files to localize the differences to a smaller scope than
"all files in current directory".
