[support] cvs diff: list unknown files with question mark

Hello,

When developing using Drupal's CVS repository, if we do: cvs diff -up > new.patch at the top of the diff output, there are as many lines (starting with a question mark) as there are files in the local checkout that do not exist in the repository. Often, other patches would be listed:

? 1234.patch ? 98734.patch ? TODO.txt

and then comes the diff output proper.

I have a local cvs repository for my own development work. However, when I do cvs diff -up against my local repository, the unknown files are not listed as with Drupal's repository.

There must be a configuration option somewhere, but I cannot find it.

I've looked at the cvs official documentation, I've searched the web... but I cannot find the answer.

I hope someone has the answer because it's a very useful feature.

thanks,

Augustin.
