"cvs diff" will only tell you differences between your version and the version
you checked out, at least in classic cvs ... If you want to see the diffs
between your version and the current repository, you need to add a flag to
tell it that.

        cvs diff -r HEAD somefile

You can find a quick reference page for cvs commands at

I have a nice folding card version of this that I always keep by my side.
