I presume you mean, "How do I compare my local *working directory* to
the repository". There are a couple of ways:
cvs -n update
will show you what files have been updated in the repository (it will
also show you what files you have modified locally).
cvs diff -rHEAD
will show you the differences between your files and the most recent
version in the repository. (That assumes you're working on the trunk,
which is the most common scenario. If you're working on a branch, just
use the branch tag instead of "HEAD".)
