  Say, didn't we just have this discussion?  Or was it on the gcc list?  

  Anyway, one point which came out of it last time is that that won't work
if the file hasn't already been "cvs add"ed, because cvs won't even run diff
on it.  So you can only use "cvs diff -N" to get a patch for a new file in
the window between cvs adding a file and cvs committing it.  

  And if you don't have write access to the repository in question, you
can't do the cvs add and so have to manually edit your CVS metadata files.
(IIRC; the add gets blocked rather than the later attempt to commit, even
though cvs add is only a local change to your CVS/Entries file).


    cheers,
