This behaviour is just plain weird. On Linux i can't reproduce it with
either 'meld' or 'kompare':

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/cwal]$ echo '# gdiff test' >> Makefile
[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/cwal]$ f gdiff

that shows (as expected) only the current changes.

[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/cwal]$ f set gdiff cat
[stephan@host:~/cvs/fossil/cwal]$ f gdiff
Index: Makefile

...

spits out only the first (unmodified) file, but that's also a misuse of
'cat'. In any case, it showing _all_ files in the repo is "highly peculiar."
