that sucks!  i don't know why cvs has to be so restrictive.  it doesn't 
seem to make any sense, since the required changes would only effect the 
local tree.  for example, i checked out a CVS tree as user anonymous and 
added this line to a CVS/Entries file:

/foo/0/dummy timestamp//

after having created a file called "foo"

then cvs diff -uN gave me the results i wanted.

so obviously server modifications are not required.
