Hi Brooks, > Either pack the files up in a shar or tarball or use diff -N against > /dev/null to create that part of the diff by hand. FWIW, CVS wouldn't > do it for you even if you could add the files. It would. This has been a problem for me either and I finally switched to have my own CVS repository belonging to my user. This is a great waste of disk space, but this is how CVS works. I think however this could be corrected without much pain because as far as I can remember, an ``add'' command will just add a line to CVS/Entries without even touching the repository, until the change is commited. Unfortunately I don't have actually any time to do this, sorry. Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen < jeremie at le-hen dot org >< ttz at chchile dot org >
