Hi,
Thanks again.
$ echo $CVSIGNORE returns nothing.
I checked in the CVSROOT directory, and couldn't find any setting related to diff output: I grepped for diff, ignore, IGNORE, etc. but no positive result.
$ alias cvs bash: alias: cvs: not found
$ alias alias la='ls -A' alias ll='ls -l' alias ls='ls --color=auto'
(cool. I didn't know alias. I learned something. thanks).
$ which cvs /usr/bin/cvs
$ cvs -f diff -up returns the same patch as without -f.
I think I'll take this up to the official cvs mailing list. Hopefully it's still active enough that someone will be able to help me.
Thanks for trying. :)
Blessins,
Augustin.
