Jason, Are you using CVS on Windows or CVSNT. If you have installed WinCVS then you are most likely using CVSNT. You can check using "cvs -v" or "cvs version" will show you the client and server version.
The correct place to ask technical questions about CVSNT is the CVSNT newsgroup: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt or http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt I've tried this on the latest 2.5.01 release candidate 1 and it works fine: H:\cvsjunk\rogers\test1>notepad ruleset.properties H:\cvsjunk\rogers\test1>cvs add ruleset.properties cvs server: scheduling file `ruleset.properties' for addition cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently H:\cvsjunk\rogers\test1>cvs diff -N ruleset.properties Index: ruleset.properties =================================================================== RCS file: ruleset.properties diff -N ruleset.properties 0a1,2 > this is a test > this is a test H:\cvsjunk\rogers\test1>cvs version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1882 (Release C andidate 1) (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1882 (Release C andidate 1) (client/server) Regards, Arthur Barrett > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ] On Behalf Of Jason Sicotte > Sent: Friday, 25 February 2005 9:27 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Cannot Diff Added File > > > I am unable to generate a patch under Windows for new files > that have been marked as added: > > cvs diff -N ruleset.properties > Index: ruleset.properties > =================================================================== > RCS file: ruleset.properties > diff -N ruleset.properties > cvs diff: nul: Invalid argument > > Is there a way around this error? > _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
