fixcvsdiff \- fix problematic diff files
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
fixcvsdiff modifies diff files created from the
\fBcvs diff\fR
command, where files have been added or removed\&. CVS tends to create diff files that
\fBpatch\fR(1)
mis\-interprets\&. The diff file must retain the lines beginning with
\(lqIndex:\(rq
in order for the correction to work\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"

Keep a \&.bak backup file\&.

\fB\-p\fR

and
\fBcvs remove\fR
commands that must be made after applying the diff, but before running
\fBcvs commit\fR\&.
