Anybody knows, how to fix it in pure patch? If there were a way to fix it with pure patch, I don't think Tanaka would have written a patch for patch. If you use "cvs patch" (aka "cvs rdiff") instead of "cvs diff", the output is much more patch-friendly; but you need two tagged revisions for that to be very useful. I have no idea why the CVS developers didn't make diff do the same output format as rdiff. -- Bart Schaefer Brass Lantern Enterprises http://www.well.com/user/barts http://www.brasslantern.com
