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
lqIndex:rq 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)
