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)
