Differences

One of the most powerful features of a CM tool is it allows you to find out WHO made WHAT change. CVS includes a diff function to assist with this task.

The following line produces a Unidiff (-u flag) between revision 1.14 and 1.19 of backend.c. Due to the -kk flag no keywords are substituted, so differences that only depend on keyword substitution are ignored.

$ cvs diff -kk -u -r 1.14 -r 1.19 backend.c
