RE: GNUstep on windows

Hi!
I think the only way is to use "diff", not "cvs diff", and pass
--exclude to diff for excluding and -N for adding files. But I'm not an
expert on this subject. Hence, if so you need to check-out current
module from cvs. This assumes you have PuTTY ssh CVS up an running, do
you?

My version of CVS (Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio)
Build 2151 (client/server)) supports the "N" option for adding or
removing files but not excluding.

I did this

  cd /gnustep/core
  mv back back-myworkingcopy
  cvs -z 9 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnustep co back
  mv back back-old
  ...unzipped back-gdiplusmods-20051201.tar.bz2 into core/back
  diff -Naurbd \
  --exclude CVS \
  --exclude "config.*" --exclude configure --exclude "*.cache" \
  --exclude ".#*" --exclude "*_obj" --exclude "*.rej" --exclude "*.def"
\
  back-old back > back-gdiplus.patch
  rm -rf back
  mv back-old back
  patch -p0 -i back-gdiplus.patch

Whats the command to diff against CVS, when files have been <added>. I
emphasize this point "added", as I have files that don't exist in cvs
and "cvs diff" doesn't include my new files (a directory and the GDIPlus
backend). I also need it to ignore the configure file, as most of the
changes to it are from me regenerating configure using autoconf, with a
lower version (hence alot differences).
