That isn't anything new with my diff, it already behaves differently
from cvs on other platforms and has done for some time (e.g. *.depend).
I can always adjust .cvsrc but I've seen enough other people having
problems with these that I think the change is worthwhile.

Perhaps, but people do that anyway, and I don't see that as a reason
to make it awkward to use them with cvs. It doesn't skip files/dirs
with embedded space characters by default either which I think are
far more dangerous.
