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 beginning
    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)
