[newbie] diffs and cvs

[JoshNarins]

I'll probably never be applying a lot of the diffs I see
here, but I have to wonder, what are they made for?

They only thing I know is they aren't made by diff for ed.

Oh, and is there a place in the Guide for "getting the latest
release from CVS," as is often recommended to mod_ers with
troubles?
