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)
