NAME
       fixcvsdiff - fix problematic diff files

SYNOPSIS
       fixcvsdiff [-p] [-b] [file...]


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 be-
       ginning 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.


SEE ALSO
       diff(1), patch(1), cvs(1)
