fixcvsdiff(1) - Linux man page
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) 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.
