It seems to work now. HEAD now means the head of everything, at least for `cvs diff -r HEAD'. I think it always meant that in other contexts. >I attempted to fix it a long time ago in src/contrib/cvs/src/diff.c >(rev 1.2) but had to back it out after realizing what a quagmire it's >down there. The cvs maintainers ventured into this quagmire in rev.1.11 (and got it wrong by considering dead files to be on the HEAD).
