"cvs diff -N" only works if the new files have been "added" (cvs add) in the
local machine. Unfortunately, you cannot add the files using CVS unless you
have write permission in the actual repository.
If would be nice if someone could come up with a small script that would add
the files locally, run "cvs diff" and then remove the bogous entries
locally.
Another solution would be to provide a way for "cvs add" to work even if on
read-only mode, and then just fail if you try to commit the transaction
without the required permission.
In any case, this is a real pain in the neck.
