diff -N includes new files, and cvs diff takes arguments to pass to diff,
as well as a list of filenames to limit its diff to.  With the help of cvsutils,
even read-only access can fake adding files to CVS.  My typical usage is:

$ cat ~/.cvsrc
cvs -qz4
update -Pd
diff -uN
$ cvsdo add src/randseed.[hc]
...
$ cvs diff src/sort.c src/checksum.h src/randseed.[hc]
...
