Hi there, I am often working with CVS of various open-source projects on which I only have a read-only repository access.
Sometimes, I want to write a patch that needs to create a new file in the project source tree. I am naturally expecting to be able to generate the patch with the following command: % cvs diff -upN Unfortunately, for -N to work the file has to be added to the project with the "cvs add" command which requires write permissions. I found a workaround for this. I simply modify CVS/Entries manually and add the following line (for protector.c, for instance): % /protector.c/0/Initial protector.c// Is there any way to achieve this, without hacking CVS/Entries manually ? If not, is it acceptable to add a new option to the "add" command to achieve this target ? Thank you.
