Obviously I didn't commit the lisp files, dunno why.  Now done.

With CVS you can only compare branches within the same repository.  In
our case you can compare v5-10 and trunk (cvs.gnus.org) e.g. with...

  cvs diff -r v5-10 -r HEAD lisp/gnus.el

In Emacs, you could do...

  cvs diff -r EMACS_22_BASE -r HEAD lisp/gnus/gnus.el

Note Gnus in the EMACS_22_BASE branch (5.11) is synched with v5-10
(5.10.*), Gnus trunk (No Gnus) is synched with Emacs trunk (Gnus
5.13).  Note that the synching is done only semi-automatically, there
are delays (usually a couple of days, unless Miles is offline for
longer periods).

If you want to do test on the stable branch, you can checkout the
v5-10 branch by adding "-r v5-10" to the usual "cvs checkout" command.

Maybe comparing Emacs and Gnus repositories if possible using Miles'
arch repository.

Bye, Reiner.
