## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/patch/1/markdown) 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**.
