Actually, I meant to elaborate a little more, but forgot. For single
files, cvs diff -u works OK, but to submit a bigger patch, I'd
recommend using makepatch. I keep two checked out trees on my system.
My working one, and a completely pristine, untouched tree. Then when
I'm ready to generate a patch, I update both trees via "cvs -z3 update
-Pd", and then I use makepatch. There's a Debian package, or you can
get the upstream source from
ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/utils/makepatch*.tar.gz.
The script I use is:
#!/bin/bash
UPSTREAM=upstream
WORKING=working
set -e
cd ~/gnucash
rm -f gnucash.diff.gz gnucash.diff.gz.uue
find -name ".#*" | xargs rm -f
makepatch --diff "diff -u" --exclude-vc ${UPSTREAM} ${WORKING} > gnucash.diff
gzip -9vf gnucash.diff
uuencode gnucash.diff.gz < gnucash.diff.gz > gnucash.diff.gz.uue
exit $?

What timestamps? What is it you're trying to do? There may be a
better way to accomplish it...

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yes, CVS has a version for
every file. Whether it stores it in the file or not depends both on
what flags you have set for that file, and whether or not you put a
$Id$ variable reference in the file...
