The easiest way with existing tools is to work in a copy checked out from a locally mirrored CVS repository. You can then use "cvs diff" to generate diffs. If you add new files, you will need to hack the CVS metadate yourself if you want to use "cvs diff -N" to include those files. That's ugly, but it should work. Try a test repo to see what the changes to CVS/Entries would look like. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
