I am guessing that the reason for the change is in the "Diff librarification" that was done but I want to know why I can not do a "cvs diff -y" now. with (CVS) 1.9 (client/server) ---as shipped with slackware 3.2 "cvs diff -ybw" would give me the familiar side by side diff I want but with (CVS) 1.10.8 (client/server) --- compiled by me on slack 7.0 with ./configure;make;make install "cvs diff -ybw" only gives diff: invalid option -- y Usage: cvs diff..... looking at cvs-1.10.8/diff/diff.c it looks as though the y should be processed if the option ever made it there, but by putting a printf in the y case I know it never does. Is there a way I can make cvs call the external diff, or is there an option I need to through at config time to remind cvs it now has gnu diff hidden in its belly, or maybe if I can find time to do it where to start on a fix, BIG maybe?
