Hi,
and sorry for the incomplete patch. I wasn't aware of the fact that cvs
diff commands don't operate on all marked files by default in pcl-cvs.
Here's the complete patch.

+
+When you select an article the current article buffer will be reused
+according to the value of the variable
+@code{gnus-single-article-buffer}. If its value is non-nil (the
+default) all articles reuse the same article buffer. Else each group
+has its own article buffer.
+
+This implies that it's not possible to have more than one article buffer
+in a group at a time. But sometimes you might want to display all the
+latest emails from your mother, your father, your aunt, your uncle and
+your 17 cousins to coordinate the next christmas party.
+
+That's where sticky articles come in handy. A sticky article buffer
+basically is a normal article buffer, but it won't be reused when you
+select another article. You can make an article sticky with:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item A S
+@kindex A S (Summary)
+@findex gnus-sticky-article
+Make the current article sticky. If a prefix arg is given, ask for a
+name for this sticky article buffer.
+@end table
+
+To close a sticky article buffer you can use these commands:
+
+@table @kbd
+@item q
+@kindex q (Article)
+@findex bury-buffer
+Puts this sticky article buffer at the end of the list of all buffers.
+
+@item k
+@kindex k (Article)
+@findex gnus-kill-sticky-article-buffer
+Kills this sticky article buffer.
+@end table
+
+To kill all sticky article buffers you can use:
+
+@defun gnus-kill-sticky-article-buffers ARG
+Kill all sticky article buffers.
+If a prefix ARG is given, ask for confirmation.
