??? What do you mean with 'cvs diff' cannot detect that the file
has changed. 'cvs diff' should show you the differences between
two revisions of the same file. So if you copy subdir1/File1.hpp
over dir1/File1.hpp
1. 'cvs status dir1/File1.hpp' should show you that the file is
"Locally Modified".
If you then commit this new version to the repository,
2. 'cvs diff -r 1.1 -r 1.2 dir1/File1.hpp' should produce an
output with the differences between the two revisions.
If this is not what you mean or what you get, please provide the
exact output of the commandline version.

Matthias
