NAME

6       fixcvsdiff - fix problematic diff files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fixcvsdiff [-p] [-b] [file...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       fixcvsdiff modifies diff files created from the cvs diff command, where
13       files have been added or removed. CVS tends to create diff files that
14       patch(1) mis-interprets. The diff file must retain the lines beginning
15       with “Index:” in order for the correction to work.
