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. > People should not name files or directories "core".

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.
