So I thought. I'll start getting my thoughts together for the code.
I think that (Gnu) tar with an option to only pick up files since a
given timestamp would do this fairly easily. Of course, it is also
probably a five-line shell script.

You are absolutely correct.

Resulting difference between 2 directories
The scenario. I have 2 snapshots of a CVS repository (old new), and I would like to execute a script/command that goes through the directories, and produces another directory, that contains, the difference of the 2 directories where it contains all the newer files/directories. So basically, Im looking for a way to just get whats changed between the snapshots, so that it can be distributed. Now this scenario does not have to be restricted to just CVS snapshots, it can be any 2 directories. I can probably come up with a php script that would do as described above, but Im checking with the list to see if there are any already available tools/ports, that I can use to accomplish this task.

Re: Resulting difference between 2 directories
Tools like unison do something (sort of) like this; they synchronize
directories. The way I use unison (keeping a dir, which is only
edited from one place at a time, consistent across several machines), it
could be pretty easily adapted to this task.
Given that, though, half an hour with a {python, perl, php, shell, etc}
{book, website} will probably produce a better result.
