What do you mean by automatic files migration?

"cvs diff" will exit with a return code of 0 if there were no changes
between revisions, and a status of 1 if there were changes (at least in
release 1.11.18 of CVS).  Just send stdout to /dev/null and check the return
value.  The problem with this approach is that you'll need to execute a "cvs
diff" command for each and every file you want to check.
