Package: prcs
Version: 1.3.3-7
Severity: important

Hi!

I really don't understand how I managed to live so long with this
rather nasty bug without reporting it. It seems somehow I expected it
would be resolved in the meantime, but now I ask myself, am I the only
one hit by it? Is the problem somewhere in my setup?

I have real trouble getting proper diffs out of prcs diff command.
Typically when I do something like this:

  prcs diff -r 14.2 -r 14.14 -NP linux26 > diff.txt

what I get out is a patch that has "Index: ..." fragments intermixed
with the diff output so diff is heavily corrupted. It happens whenever
the diff is big enough and has been happening for a long time. Here's
one example:

+# CONFIG_HID_FF is not set
+# CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set
+# CONFIG_USB_AIPIndex: 14.2/drivers/net/wireless/net80211/if_ethersubr.h
TEK is not set
+# CONFIG_USB_WACOM is not set
+# CONFIG_USB_ACECAD is not set

If its of any use, here is what I have in my environment (for prcs):

PRCS_REPOSITORY=/var/local/prcs
PRCS_DIFF_OPTIONS=-u
PRCS_JOB_NUMBER=3
PRCS_LOGQUERY=1

And I'm definitely willing to provide any other info needed, this is
definitely driving me nuts! What use is versioning application if you
can't get proper diff out of it?!

Thanks a lot for any help!
