FIXCVSDIFF(1) Man pages FIXCVSDIFF(1) NAME fixcvsdiff - fix problematic diff files SYNOPSIS fixcvsdiff [-p] [-b] [file...] DESCRIPTION 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.
