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.
