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)
