Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is there any easy way to do a diff of a file from a certain date on a branch other than HEAD? For example, after I update my sources from my local repository, I would like to run 'cvs diff' against GENERIC and LINT to see what changes were made since the last time I updated. Thus, I want to be able to do "cvs diff -D GENERIC" and have it look up the revision of GENERIC on the RELENG_3 branch instead of on the HEAD branch to compare to my local GENERIC file, which has a sticky tag of RELENG_3. Is there any easy way to do this w/o having to page through 'cvs log' to find the specific revision number on RELENG_3 at that date and then use 'cvs diff' with that?
