 A.11.2 diff examples
 --------------------
 
 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
 
    Suppose the experimental branch EXPR1 was based on a set of files
 tagged RELEASE_1_0.  To see what has happened on that branch, the
 following can be used:
 
      $ cvs diff -r RELEASE_1_0 -r EXPR1
 
    A command like this can be used to produce a context diff between
 two releases:
 
      $ cvs diff -c -r RELEASE_1_0 -r RELEASE_1_1 > diffs
 
    If you are maintaining ChangeLogs, a command like the following just
 before you commit your changes may help you write the ChangeLog entry.
 All local modifications that have not yet been committed will be
 printed.
 
      $ cvs diff -u | less
