I've just been trying to get a patch for the areca driver and noticed that no matter which way round you select versions for diffs you always get the same result. This means that you cant actually just grab a "patch" for a file from cvs as it does the diff the wrong way round forcing patch to moan about -R. An example of this can be seen by comparing the following two links: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/arcmsr.c.diff?r1=1.8.2.3&r2=1.8.8.1 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/arcmsr/arcmsr.c.diff?r1=1.8.8.1&r2=1.8.2.3 Both end up running: diff -u -p -r1.8.2.3 -r1.8.8.1 Where I would expect the first link to do: diff -u -p -r1.8.2.3 -r1.8.8.1 but the second to do: diff -u -p -r1.8.8.1 -r1.8.2.3 Would be nice to get this fixed so its easy to get working diffs for version and should be pretty easy to fix.
