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.

SEE ALSO

diff(1), patch(1), cvs(1)
