Sorry if this is the wrong list - and I guess it is.. When I do a 'cvs diff' between branches, and there are files on one branch that are not on the other, CVS reports 'tag whatever is not in filename'. Is there a way to make it diff the file against /dev/null or something, so I could use 'cvs diff' in a meaningful way for such changes? Same question for files that have not yet been cvs add'ed, and do not really have to be - e.g. local changes to a checked-out tree, which I have no intention to commit, I just want to generate a diff that shall create these files. 'cvs diff' just says '? filename' and refuses to diff it. G'luck, Peter -- You have, of course, just begun reading the sentence that you have just finished reading.
