fixcvsdiff1
Fix problematic diff files
Usage
fixcvsdiff [-p]
[-b]
[file ...]
Overview
fixcvsdiff modifies diff files created from the cvs diff command, where files have been added or removed. CVS tends to create diff files that patch(1) mis-interprets. The diff file must retain the lines beginning with “Index:” in order for the correction to work.
Options
-
-b -
Keep a .bak backup file.
-
-p -
Print out the cvs add and cvs remove commands that must be made after applying the diff, but before running cvs commit.
