>From what I see, this script will supply a diff of the local file against a
revision relative to the local revision. Is this correct? I think the script
comments can be much clearer about what the script does.
Assuming the above is correct. It's obvious what the script should do given a
negative number. What'll it do if given a positive number and branches exist?

I've called it cvsbkdiff.
You'd say, e.g. cvs diff -2 *.c
It works under Unix and under UWin.
