Sorry if this is the wrong list - and I guess it is..

When I do a 'cvs diff' between branches, and there are files on one branch
that are not on the other, CVS reports 'tag whatever is not in filename'.
Is there a way to make it diff the file against /dev/null or something,
so I could use 'cvs diff' in a meaningful way for such changes?

Same question for files that have not yet been cvs add'ed, and do not
really have to be - e.g. local changes to a checked-out tree, which I have
no intention to commit, I just want to generate a diff that shall create
these files.  'cvs diff' just says '? filename' and refuses to diff it.

G'luck,
Peter
