No, its "cvs diff -N -u",  or "diff -r -N -u olddir newdir" (depending
on whether you're working from CVS files or not).

The -N shows new files.  And you can add "diff -u" to ~/.cvsrc so you
don't have to include it every time, because all diffs should be in
unified format.
 
List the original dir first or you will generated a reverse patch.  See
"man diff" for lots more useful switches.
