fixcvsdiff − fix problematic diff files |
fixcvsdiff [−p] [−b] [file...] |
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. |
−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. |
