Given that rdiff doesn't even *have* a -N option, what would you have the documentation say?!? It already says that it creates a patch to "bring an old release up-to-date with the new release" -- creating files that didn't previously exist is obviously an essential part of that process. You'll notice that rdiff (aka patch) hardly has any of the regular diff options -- that's because most of them aren't really options for patches, they're either required or not valid. Perhaps we should consider splitting patch and rdiff into separate commands on the feature branch: patch would continue to have the current behavior, rdiff would provide all the usual diff options. -Larry Jones Oh, now don't YOU start on me. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
