man fixcvsdiff (Commandes) - fix problematic diff files
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.
